The Circulation of Type F Clostridium perfringens among Humans, Sewage, and Ruditapes philippinarum (Asari Clams)

Pathogens, 2020
Clostridium perfringens is an important pathogen that is responsible for gastroenteritis; the causative agent for the symptoms is C. perfringens enterotoxin (CPE), which is mainly produced by type F C. perfringens.

Functional validation of a modified platelet desialylation test for immune and hereditary thrombocytopenias

Transfusion Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Thrombocytopenia arises from heterogeneous inherited and acquired disorders, and identifying the underlying platelet clearance mechanisms remains challenging. Platelet desialylation, characterised by loss of sialic acid and consequent exposure of terminal β‐galactose residues recognised by the Ashwell–Morell receptor, represents an ...

Investigating the role of small, acid-soluble spore proteins (SASPs) in the resistance of Clostridium perfringens spores to heat

BMC Microbiology, 2006
Background Clostridium perfringens type A food poisoning is caused by enterotoxigenic C. perfringens type A isolates that typically possess high spore heat-resistance. The molecular basis for C. perfringens spore heat-resistance remains unknown.

Clinical application of a modified platelet desialylation test for mechanistic characterization of platelet transfusion refractoriness

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Platelet transfusion refractoriness (PTR) is a major challenge in transfusion medicine and may result from both immune and non‐immune mechanisms. Although alloantibodies are well‐established contributors, Fc‐independent pathways such as platelet desialylation have emerged as alternative mechanisms of clearance.

Assessment of the efficacy of large volume delayed sampling primary culture and pathogen reduction in preventing septic reactions from platelet transfusions

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Many mitigation processes have been introduced to reduce septic transfusion reactions (STRs) caused by the transfusion of bacterially contaminated PLTs. Methods The efficacy of primary culture and pathogen reduction is assessed in this review using data from long‐term hemovigilance programs in the US, Canada, UK, France, Switzerland,

Integrated transcriptomics and metabolomics reveal multi-target mechanisms of tannins against Clostridium perfringens and necrotic enteritis

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology
Background Clostridium perfringens is a pathogen that secretes multiple toxins, impacting humans and animals. It can cause intestinal diseases such as necrotic enteritis. Although tannins inhibit C.

Faecal Microbiota Transplantation Reduces Lesion Severity and Medication Use in Canine Atopic Dermatitis: A Randomised, Placebo‐Controlled, Double‐Blinded Clinical Trial

Veterinary Dermatology, EarlyView.
Background: Faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is an established therapy for gastrointestinal disease, yet its role in canine atopic dermatitis (cAD) remains unclear. Hypothesis/Objectives: We hypothesised that adjunctive FMT improves clinical severity and reduces symptomatic medication use in dogs with cAD.

Effect of Clostridium perfringens β-Toxin on Platelets [PDF]

, 2017
Clostridium perfringens β-toxin (CPB) is the major virulence factor of C. perfringens type C causing a hemorrhagic enteritis in animals and humans. In experimentally infected pigs, endothelial binding of CPB was shown to be associated with early vascular
