abstract：:Clostridium difficile is recognized as the major cause of antibiotic-associated colitis. C. difficile produces two toxins, A (enterotoxin) and B (cytotoxin), that are implicated in the pathogenesis of the colitis. We examined the dose responses, time course, and synergism of these two toxins in ligated rabbit intestin...
