Clostridium chauvoei, an Evolutionary Dead-End Pathogen [PDF]
Full genome sequences of 20 strains of Clostridium chauvoei, the etiological agent of blackleg of cattle and sheep, isolated from four different continents over a period of 64 years (1951–2015) were determined and analyzed.

Genetic and functional characterization of the NanA sialidase from
Clostridium chauvoei is the causative agent of blackleg, a wide spread serious infection of cattle and sheep with high mortality. In this study we have analyzed the sialidase activity of the NanA protein of C. chauvoei and cloned the sialidase gene nanA.

Cloning and sequence analysis of hyaluronoglucosaminidase (nagH) gene of Clostridium chauvoei [PDF]
Aim: Blackleg disease is caused by Clostridium chauvoei in ruminants. Although virulence factors such as C. chauvoei toxin A, sialidase, and flagellin are well characterized, hyaluronidases of C. chauvoei are not characterized.

Phylogenetic Positions of Clostridium chauvoei and Clostridium septicum Based on 16S rRNA Gene Sequences [PDF]
The sequences of the 16S rRNA genes (rrs genes) of Clostridium chauvoei, the causative agent of blackleg in cattle, and the phenotypically related organism Clostridium septicum were determined. After amplification of 1,507-bp PCR fragments from the corresponding rrs genes, the sequences were determined in a single round of sequencing by using conserved

Human fulminant gas gangrene caused by Clostridium chauvoei. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The first human case of fulminant gas gangrene caused by Clostridium chauvoei , a pathogen causing ruminant blackleg, was confirmed for a 58-year-old man suffering from diabetes mellitus. The patient developed conspicuous emphysematous gangrene in the right chest wall as well as intravascular gas ...

Patho-genetics of Clostridium chauvoei [PDF]
The genomic sequence of Clostridium chauvoei, the etiological agent of blackleg, a severe disease of ruminants with high mortality specified by a myonecrosis reveals a chromosome of 2.8 million base-pairs and a cryptic plasmid of 5.5 kilo base-pairs. The chromosome contains the main pathways like glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, sugar metabolism, purine and

Molecular characterization of Clostridium species associated with clostridial diseases in ruminants in northern Iran [PDF]
Clostridial infections are major causes of mortality in domestic ruminants. This study aimed to isolate and molecularly characterize Clostridium species from suspected cases of clostridial diseases in cattle and sheep in Mazandaran, northern Iran.
