Comparative Genome Analysis and Spore Heat Resistance Assay Reveal a New Component to Population Structure and Genome Epidemiology Within Clostridium perfringens Enterotoxin-Carrying Isolates

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Clostridium perfringens causes a variety of human and animal enteric diseases including food poisoning, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and necrotic enteritis. Yet, the reservoirs of enteropathogenic enterotoxin-producing strains remain unknown.

Affinity chromatography purification of Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1975
Anti-enterotoxin immunoglobulins immobilized on CH-Sepharose or CNBr-Sepharose were used for affinity chromatography purification of Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin. Cell extracts containing enterotoxin or partially purified toxin preparations were applied to the column and nonspecifically-bound protein was eluted.

The interaction of Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin with receptor claudins [PDF]

Anaerobe, 2016
Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin (CPE) has significant medical importance due to its involvement in several common human gastrointestinal diseases. This 35 kDa single polypeptide toxin consists of two domains: a C-terminal domain involved in receptor binding and an N-terminal domain involved in oligomerization, membrane insertion and pore formation.

Cationic currents induced by Clostridium perfringens type A enterotoxin in human intestinal CaCO-2 cells [PDF]

, 1999
Clostridium perfringens type A produces an enterotoxin that induces diarrhoea experimentally in man and animals. The enterotoxin causes increased membrane permeability in susceptible cells which is thought to be due to pore formation in the host cell ...

Clostridium and Bacillus Binary Enterotoxins: Bad for the Bowels, and Eukaryotic Being

Toxins, 2014
Some pathogenic spore-forming bacilli employ a binary protein mechanism for intoxicating the intestinal tracts of insects, animals, and humans. These Gram-positive bacteria and their toxins include Clostridium botulinum (C2 toxin), Clostridium difficile (

Occurrence of anaerobic spore formers including Clostridium perfringens and its Virulence genes in Some Vacuum-Packed Chilled Meat Products [PDF]

Benha Veterinary Medical Journal
Ninety randomized samples of various vacuum-packed meat products, including as sausage, frankfurter and salami, were selected at random from several Menofyia governorate supermarkets in order to be tested for the presence of Clostridium perfringens and ...

Use of an indirect haemagglutination test, for the detection of Clostridium perfringens type A enterotoxin

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1991
An indirect haemagglutination (IH) test is described for the detection of Clostridium perfringens type A enterotoxin, produced by strains isolated from human cases of food poisoning and from contaminated food.

Freshwater Suspended Sediments and Sewage Are Reservoirs for Enterotoxin-Positive Clostridium perfringens [PDF]

, 2010
The release of fecal pollution into surface waters may create environmental reservoirs of feces-derived microorganisms, including pathogens. Clostridium perfringens is a commonly used fecal indicator that represents a human ...
