The mechanism by whichClostridium difficiletoxin B causes cells in culture to round was investigated. Cultured human lung fibroblasts and rabbit aortic smooth muscle cells were treated with partially purified or purified toxin B and monitored by light and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Both preparations caused progressive cell rounding which correlated with disorganization of actin-containing myofilament bundles. Thin myofilaments became fragmented and finally disappeared (after 24 h) and dense bodies became more prominent, while all other organelles appeared unaffected.
