The Gut Microbiome in Neuromyelitis Optica. [PDF]
Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is a rare, disabling, sometimes fatal central nervous system inflammatory demyelinating disease that is associated with antibodies ("NMO IgG") that target the water channel protein aquaporin-4 (AQP4) expressed on astrocytes ...

Detection of the ADP-ribosyltransferase toxin gene (cdtA) and its activity in Clostridium difficile isolates from Equidae [PDF]
Clostridium difficile is an antibiotic-associated emerging pathogen of humans and animals. Thus far three toxins of C. difficile have been described: an enterotoxin (ToxA), a cytotoxin (ToxB) and an ADP-ribosyltransferase (CDT).

Clostridium perfringens strains from bovine enterotoxemia cases are not superior in in vitro production of alpha toxin, perfringolysin O and proteolytic enzymes [PDF]
Background: Bovine enterotoxemia is a major cause of mortality in veal calves. Predominantly veal calves of beef cattle breeds are affected and losses due to enterotoxemia may account for up to 20% of total mortality.

Biological assay for Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin with vero cells.
A simple and reproducible assay method using African green-monkey kidney (Vero) cells for Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin was developed. Vero cells were incubated with enterotoxin in wells on a microtiter plate for 60 min at 37 C and stained with a 0.2% nigrosin solution. A nearly linear curve was obtained between the ratio of the stained cells and

Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin in antibiotic-associated diarrhea
Clostridium perfringens type A is associated with 5-20% cases of antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) even though Clostridium difficile is implicated in the most severe cases.

Toxin genotyping of Clostridium perfringens strains using a polymerase chain reaction protocol [PDF]
A polymerase chain reaction protocol consisting of a multiplex to identify the cpa, cpb1, cpetx, cpi genes and a duplex to identify the cpe and cpb2 genes encoding for a, b1, e, i, enterotoxin and b2 toxins, respectively, was applied to DNA extracted ...
