Abstract
We investigated the effects of Clostridioides difficile toxin B (TcdB), a major virulence factor in C. difficile infection (CDI), on human neutrophils. TcdB inhibits neutrophil migration via loss of polarity of F-actin polymerization in response to interleukin-8. TcdB facilitates CDI by allowing C. difficile to avert the host immune system.
期刊介绍：
Anaerobe is essential reading for those who wish to remain at the forefront of discoveries relating to life processes of strictly anaerobes. The journal is multi-disciplinary, and provides a unique forum for those investigating anaerobic organisms that cause infections in humans and animals, as well as anaerobes that play roles in microbiomes or environmental processes.
Anaerobe publishes reviews, mini reviews, original research articles, notes and case reports. Relevant topics fall into the broad categories of anaerobes in human and animal diseases, anaerobes in the microbiome, anaerobes in the environment, diagnosis of anaerobes in clinical microbiology laboratories, molecular biology, genetics, pathogenesis, toxins and antibiotic susceptibility of anaerobic bacteria.
