An extracellular material observed in Clostridium difficile strains.
Some extracellular material-- "capsule" has been observed among Clostridium difficile strains. C. difficile strains (44 examined) contain different proportions of cells with "capsule" and without "capsules". Toxigenic strains contained fewer capsulated cells than non-toxigenic strains.
