Abstract

Examination of the biological activities of the two known toxins of Clostridium difficile revealed that one of the toxins (toxin A) elicited a hemorrhagic fluid response in rabbit intestinal loops and a positive fluid response in infant mice. The other toxin (toxin B) did not produce a significant fluid response in either model, although the toxin was more lethal in infant mice. Both toxins elicited erythematous and hemorrhagic skin reactions and increased vascular permeability in rabbit skin.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
