Pathogenicity and virulence of Clostridium perfringens [PDF]
Virulence, 2021 Clostridium perfringens is an extremely versatile pathogen of humans and livestock, causing wound infections like gas gangrene (clostridial myonecrosis), enteritis/enterocolitis (including one of the most common human food-borne illnesses), and enterotoxemia (where toxins produced in the intestine are absorbed and damage distant organs such as the ...

Transformation of Clostridium perfringens [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1984 Clostridium perfringens 11268 CDR (Rifr Tcs), the strain transformed in our experiments, was generated by curing a spontaneous, rifampicin-resistant mutant of C. perfringens 11268 (Rifr Tcr). High-temperature growth yielded tetracycline-sensitive, rifampicin-resistant cells which no longer contained pCW3, a 42.8-kilobase plasmid.

Black Urine and Methemoglobinemia in the Setting of Sepsis Due to Clostridium Perfringens
Clinical Medicine Insights: Case Reports, 2020 Clostridium Perfringens is an anaerobic gram-positive bacillus able to produce different types of toxins and can cause septicemia. The mechanism is through translocation from a previously colonized gastrointestinal or genital tract. Massive intravascular

Clostridium perfringens in the Environment [PDF]
Applied Microbiology, 1974 Clostridium perfringens was isolated from samples collected in Puget Sound in the state of Washington and areas considered as possible sources of these organisms to Puget Sound. The distribution of C. perfringens in the total Clostridium population was determined for fish gut ...
