Unclouding Clostridiodes difficile virulence with systems biology

Abstract

Systems biology studies how complex dynamics emerge from many elements interacting with each other in biological systems. This definition might sound abstract, but the applications are concrete. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, two studies apply systems biology to study Clostridioides difficile, a major cause of hospital-acquired infections.
