Popis: Spores produced by Clostridioides difficile during infection are important for the recurrence of the disease. Here, Castro-Córdova et al. show that the spores gain entry into the intestinal mucosa via pathways dependent on host fibronectin and vitronectin, and spore entry inhibition leads to reduced recurrence of infection in a mouse model.
