Molecular Biology of Clostridium perfringens Enterotoxin
1993Clostridium perfringens is a large, gram-positive, spore-forming, anaerobic and nonmotile rod belonging to the family Bacillaceae. It is a common inhabitant of the soil and plays an important part in the putrefication process. C. perfringens is also readily isolated from dust, raw meat, water, and the intestinal tract of man and animals, and is the ...

Chymotrypsin treatment increases the activity of Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin
Toxicon, 1991Chymotrypsin treatment of the enterotoxin from Clostridium perfringens results in the loss of 36 amino acids from the N-terminus and 3 amino acids from the C-terminus. This processing results in a 3.2 fold increase in activity on Vero cells, which is close to what had been found for trypsin treatment following the loss of 25 amino acids from the N ...

Cloning and sequencing of the Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin gene
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 1989Several gene banks of Clostridium perfringens in E. coli were constructed. Using a mixture of synthetic 29-mer DNA probes clones were selected containing inserts from the C. perfringens gene coding for the enterotoxin. This has allowed sequencing of the complete gene and its flanking regions.

Structure and Function of Clostridium Perfringens Enterotoxin
1990Food poisoning by Clostridium perfringens occurs after ingestion of food contaminated with large numbers of C. perfringens vegetative cells, and it is characterized by diarrhea and abdominal pain. The causative factor of the diarrhea is C. perfringens enterotoxin, which is produced in the digestive tract of humans by the organisms during sporulation ...

The molecular mode of action of Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1979While certain strains of Clostridium perfringens have been associated with food poisoning outbreaks for the past 30 years, it has been only during the past 10 years that progress has been made in describing the disease process. And only within the past 5 years has meaningful progress been made in understanding the mechanism by which the disease is ...
