Fig. 4

The stability of pMTL84121 (p, empty vector) and pMTL84121-derived vectors expressing the different TA modules in C. difficile 630Δerm was determined after seven passages (every 12 h) in TY broth without thiamphenicol. Values represent means and error bars represent standard error of the means (N = 4 biologically independent samples). **P ≤ 0.05 and ***P ≤ 0.001 by an unpaired t-test. Source data are available in Supplementary Data 3.
