The Molecular Architecture and Mode of Action of Clostridium perfringens ε-Toxin

Toxins
Clostridium perfringens ε-toxin has long been associated with a severe enterotoxaemia of livestock animals, and more recently, was proposed to play a role in the etiology of multiple sclerosis in humans.

Expression of deleted, atoxic atypical recombinant beta2 toxin in a baculovirus system and production of polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies

Microbial Cell Factories, 2017
Background Clostridium perfringens is an important animal and human pathogen that can produce more than 16 different major and minor toxins. The beta-2 minor toxin (CPB2), comprising atypical and consensus variants, appears to be involved in both human ...

A role for the Clostridium perfringens β2 toxin in bovine enterotoxaemia?

Veterinary Microbiology, 2002
Non-enterotoxigenic type A Clostridium perfringens are associated with bovine enterotoxaemia, but the alpha toxin is not regarded as responsible for the production of typical lesions of necrotic and haemorrhagic enteritis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the putative role of the more recently described beta2 toxin.

Clostridium perfringens epsilon toxin induces blood brain barrier permeability via caveolae-dependent transcytosis and requires expression of MAL.

PLoS Pathogens, 2019
Clostridium perfringens epsilon toxin (ETX) is responsible for causing the economically devastating disease, enterotoxaemia, in livestock. It is well accepted that ETX causes blood brain barrier (BBB) permeability, however the mechanisms involved in this

Effective immunization of lambs against enterotoxaemia.

The Onderstepoort journal of veterinary research, 1981
In contrast to adult sheep, 2- to 3-month-old lambs do not respond well to a single injection of Clostridium perfringens Type D oil adjuvant epsilon toxoid. This unresponsiveness can be overcome, however, by administering 2 injections of oil adjuvant vaccine or one injection of oil adjuvant followed 4 weeks later by an injection of alum-precipitated ...

Role of nutrition in the pathogenesis of porcine Escherichia coli enterotoxaemia.

Annales de recherches veterinaires. Annals of veterinary research, 1983
The role of nutrition in the pathogenesis of E. coli enterotoxaemia was studied in weaned pigs inoculated with a field strain of E. coli O139:K82(B):H 4. Feeds extremely low in nutrients (5% crude protein, 4.6 MJ/kg digestible energy, 17% crude fibre) completely prevented the disease by inhibiting proliferation of the pathogenic bacteria in the ...
