Early cell death induced by Clostridium difficile TcdB: Uptake and Rac1‐glucosylation kinetics are decisive for cell fate

Toxin A and Toxin B (TcdA/TcdB) are large glucosyltransferases produced by Clostridium difficile. TcdB but not TcdA induces reactive oxygen species‐mediated early cell death (ECD) when applied at high concentrations. We found that nonglucosylated Rac1 is essential for induction of ECD since inhibiti...
