Gut Health in Ostriches (Struthio camelus): Insights Into Intestinal Structure, Functions, Microbiome, and Improvement Strategies

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Our paper systematically reviews the intestinal structure, function, and microbiota of ostriches, along with strategies for improving their gut health. We analyze how these factors collectively influence intestinal homeostasis and ostrich welfare, emphasizing probiotics as a promising intervention to enhance gut health, boost population well‐being, and

Molecular analysis of transferable tetracycline resistance plasmids from Clostridium perfringens [PDF]

, 1985
Conjugative tetracycline resistance plasmids from 15 Clostridium perfringens isolates from piggeries were analyzed by restriction endonuclease digestion and agarose gel electrophoresis. Seven isolates from one farm were found to carry a 47-kilobase pair (

Desk studies on feasibility of horizontal standard rapid methods for detection of Clostridium perfringens and enterococci in sludges, soil, soil improvers, growing media and biowastes

, 2004
The existing methods currently available for the detection and enumeration of clostridia and enterococci in sludges and treated biowastes have been evaluated with a view to possible standardisation. The main methods used for the detection and enumeration

Broad host range phages target global Clostridium perfringens bacterial strains and clear infection in five-strain model systems

Microbiology Spectrum
Clostridium perfringens is a prevalent bacterial pathogen in poultry, and due to the spread of antimicrobial resistance, alternative treatments are needed to prevent and treat infection. Bacteriophages (phages), viruses that kill bacteria, offer a viable

From pathogen to “living drug factory” innovative strategies and clinical translation of bacteria as programmable intelligent vectors for cancer therapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Engineered bacteria serve as smart, living therapeutics that target tumors, deliver drugs, and remodel immunosuppressive microenvironments. This review highlights their potential to potentiate immunotherapy, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, offering a promising paradigm for precise and synergistic cancer treatment. Abstract The dynamic interplay between

Clostridium perfringens-Associated Necrotic Enteritis-Like Disease in Coconut Lorikeets (Trichoglossus haematodus). [PDF]

, 2021
Several outbreaks of necrotic enteritis-like disease in lorikeets, from which Clostridium perfringens was consistently isolated, are described. All lorikeets had acute, segmental, or multifocal fibrinonecrotizing inflammatory lesions in the small and/or ...

Detection and typing of Clostridium perfringens in some retail chicken meat products [PDF]

Benha Veterinary Medical Journal, 2017
Clostridium perfringens is considered as one of major food poisoning bacteria; which may refer to different lethal toxins production including C. perfringens enterotoxin. C.

Research Note: First report on the detection of necrotic enteritis (NE) B-like toxin in biological samples from NE-afflicted chickens using capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay

Poultry Science, 2021
: Necrotic enteritis (NE) is a devastating enteric disease caused by Clostridium perfringens type G. One of the pore-forming toxins, NE B-like (NetB) toxin, secreted by pathogenic C. perfringens type G, has been proposed to be the main virulent factor in

Diagnosis of bacteraemia in neonatal foals using 16S rRNA high‐throughput sequencing

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Sepsis is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in foals. Early diagnosis can improve outcome but is complicated by non‐specific clinical signs and delayed confirmation of infection via blood culture. Molecular assays represent a rapid and more sensitive alternative.

Endothelial binding of beta toxin to small intestinal mucosal endothelial cells in early stages of experimentally induced Clostridium perfringens type C enteritis in pigs. [PDF]

, 2013
Beta toxin (CPB) is known to be an essential virulence factor in the development of lesions of Clostridium perfringens type C enteritis in different animal species. Its target cells and exact mechanism of toxicity have not yet been clearly defined. Here,
