is the leading cause of healthcare-associated diarrhea in industrialized countries. Many questions remain to be answered about the mechanisms governing its interaction with the host during infection. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) contribute to shape virulence in many pathogens and modulate host responses; however, their role in infection (CDI) has not been explored.

Yet, little is known about how acetate availability affects this bacterium's gene expression strategies. Here, we investigated the effect of acetate on temporal changes in the transcriptome of F.

The DNA-replication checkpoint (DRC) contributes to this coordination by inhibiting CDK1, which delays mitotic onset. Under-replication of common fragile sites (CFSs), however, escapes surveillance, resulting in mitotic chromosome breaks.
