Serological parameters of infected hamsters measured 1 or 2 days after C. difficile detection in their feces. Animals were euthanized 1 or 2 days after C. difficile detection on feces (day 3 for 5758-ST01 and day 6 for all other groups). The results are presented as the average ± standard error. The following biomarkers were measured in hamster serum: a creatinine, b blood urea nitrogen (BUN), c alanine amino-transferase (ALT), d aspartate amino-transferase (AST), e lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and f albumin. * p < 0.05 One-way ANOVA with Bonferroni’s correction. The mean of measurements for control groups (DMEM and PBS) is indicated by a dashed line
