Virulence Factors of Clostridium perfringens [PDF]
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1979 Clostridium perfringens produces a variety of virulence factors. The mechanism of action of these factors usually falls into one of three groups. Some of these virulence factors, such as the alpha toxin, which is phospholipase C, and the kappa toxin, which is a collagenase, are enzymes that hydrolyze substances essential to the integrity of membranes ...

An overview of Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin
Toxicon, 1996Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin (CPE) is considered to be the virulence factor responsible for causing the symptoms of C. perfringens type A food poisoning and may also be involved in other human and veterinary illnesses. CPE has a unique four-step membrane action that apparently involves: (1) CPE binding to a 50,000 mol.

Ribonucleoprotein of Clostridium perfringens (BP6K)
Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 1953Abstract A procedure has been presented for the isolation and purification of the ribonucleoprotein from lyophilized Clostridium perfringens (BP6K) cells. Separation of the ribonucleoprotein from the desoxyribonucleoprotein was effected by extracting the lyophilized cells with 0.14 M NaCl. The amino acid composition of the purified nucleoprotein was

The enteric toxins of Clostridium perfringens
2004The Gram-positive pathogen Clostridium perfringens is a major cause of human and veterinary enteric disease largely because this bacterium can produce several toxins when present inside the gastrointestinal tract. The enteric toxins of C. perfringens share two common features: (1) they are all single polypeptides of modest (approximately 25-35 kDa ...

Clostridium botulinum, Clostridium perfringens, Clostridium difficile
2018Members of the genus Clostridium cause a variety of diseases in humans and animals, sometimes with fatal consequences. These organisms are anaerobic spore-forming rod-shaped bacteria and mostly associated with soil and sediments. Three species, Clostridium botulinum, C. perfringens and C. difficile, have a significant importance because these pathogens
