Abstract
We report the physical mapping of the toxin A and B genes to the bacterial chromosome of Clostridium difficile ATCC 43594 by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. Single and double digestions with restriction endonucleases NruI and SacII allowed localization of the toxin genes to a specific 577-kb fragment and estimation of genome size to be approximately 3.8 megabases. This effort represents the initial step in the construction of a physical map of the whole genome.Entities:
