IMPORTANCE Antibiotic-associated colitis is often caused by infection with the bacterium Clostridioides difficile In this study, we found that reduction of the amino acid glycine by precolonization with a less virulent strain of C. difficile is sufficient to decrease germination of a second strain. This finding demonstrates that the axis of competition for nutrients can include multiple life stages. This work is important, as it is the first to identify a possible mechanism through which precolonization with C. difficile, a current c
