| SUBJECT |
ETHIOLOGY Caused by a toxin of the bacteria "Clostridium difficile". Certain antibiotics in some patients wipe out many bacterial species that live in the human gut. This can pave the way for overgrowth of "C. difficile", which normally can't compete. The C-terminal third of the toxin chain binds to oligosacchari des on human gut cell surfaces. The N-terminal third exerts the toxic effect of damage to gut cells, making them unable to control fluid inflow & outflow & accumulation of deposits on blood, mucus & other fluid |
