Clostridioides difficile toxin B subverts germinal center and antibody recall responses by stimulating a drug-treatable CXCR4-dependent mechanism
Summary: Recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) results in significant morbidity and mortality.We previously established that CDI in mice does not protect against reinfection and is associated with poor pathogen-specific B cell memory (Bmem), recapitulating our observations with human Bmem.Here, we demonstrate that the secreted toxin Tc
