Surface layers (S-layers) are regularly ordered protein subunits found as the outermost cell envelope component of many bacteria. Most S-layers are composed of a single protein or glycoprotein species with a molecular weight varying between 40 and 200 kDa. Clostridium difficile is the most common ca
## Abstract Like many other bacterial cell surfaces, the cell wall of __Clostridium difficile__ is also encapsulated by a proteinaceous paracrystalline layer, the surface (S)βlayer. In many bacterial species, the Sβlayer proteins (SLPs) have been shown to be glycosylated, whereas in other species g
