Emergence of new PCR ribotypes from the hypervirulent Clostridium difficile 027 lineage. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Clostridium difficile is the most common cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea worldwide. Over the past 10 years, the incidence and severity of disease have increased in North America and Europe due to the emergence of a hypervirulent clone designated

Sporulation Abilities and Heat Resistance of Clostridium perfringens Strains Isolated from French Food Borne Outbreaks

open access: yesFoods
Clostridium perfringens is responsible for various diseases. Foodborne outbreaks (FBOs) result from the in situ production of C. perfringens enterotoxin (CPE) by type F strains during sporulation.

Transcriptional analysis of temporal gene expression in germinating Clostridium difficile 630 endospores. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Clostridium difficile is the leading cause of hospital acquired diarrhoea in industrialised countries. Under conditions that are not favourable for growth, the pathogen produces metabolically dormant endospores via asymmetric cell division.

REINVESTIGATION OF THE TAXONOMY OF CLOSTRIDIUM BIFERMENTANS AND CLOSTRIDIUM SORDELLII [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Medical Microbiology, 1975
The taxonomic relationships between Clostridium bifermentans and C. sordellii were reinvestigated by numerical taxonomy, studies of DNA-DNA homology and DNA duplex thermal stability, and by analysis of cell-wall sugar components. Although the results indicate that both species may be grouped into one geno-species, C.

Identification of a novel zinc metalloprotease through a global analysis of clostridium difficile extracellular proteins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Clostridium difficile is a major cause of infectious diarrhea worldwide. Although the cell surface proteins are recognized to be important in clostridial pathogenesis, biological functions of only a few are known.

Microbiological Quality of Experimental Silages in Combination With the Addition of Topsoil Soil Layer and Ensiling Additives

open access: yesActa Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2014
Fodder crops contamination by the surface layer of soil is important in terms of the occurrence of clostridial spores that can infect silage through the contaminated fodder crops, which is followed by the feeding and occurrence of clostridia in the ...

Plasmids in Clostridium botulinum and related Clostridium species [PDF]

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Microbiology, 1984
Toxigenic Clostridium botulinum and nontoxigenic C. sporogenes, C. subterminale, and C. botulinum-like organisms from a variety of sources were screened for plasmids. Of the 68 toxigenic C. botulinum isolates, 56% carried one or more plasmids, ranging in mass from 2.1 to 81 megadaltons. Within individual groups (based on the type of neurotoxin produced)
