Design of 8-mer peptides that block Clostridioides difficile toxin A in intestinal cells
Abstract Infections by Clostridioides difficile, a bacterium that targets the large intestine (colon), impact a large number of people worldwide. Bacterial colonization is mediated by two exotoxins: toxins A and B. Short peptides that can be delivered to the gut and inhibit the biocatalytic activity...
