a) A schematic of the C. difficile relapse infection in C57BL/6 mice. b) CFU counts enumerated from the faeces of individually caged animals (n = 5) infected with either wild-type C. difficile strain (630Δerm) or the corresponding p-cresol null mutant (hpdC::CT) over the duration of the primary infection (days 1–21) and relapse (days 1R-7R). c) CFU enumerated from the faeces day 4 post-infection and d) day 4 relapse. Mann Whitney U test was used to calculate significant differences between infection with wild-type C. difficile and the hpdC mutant marked *p<0.05. Graphs were produced in GraphPad Prism 6.0.</p
