Genomic Diversity and Virulence Factors of Clostridium perfringens Isolated from Healthy and Necrotic Enteritis-Affected Broiler Chicken Farms in Quebec Province. [PDF]

Microorganisms
Avian necrotic enteritis due to the Gram-positive bacterium Clostridium perfringens has re-emerged following the ban on antibiotic growth promoters in many poultry producing countries. The limited number of previous studies has left important gaps in our

Effects of feed supplementation with 3 different probiotic Bacillus strains and their combination on the performance of broiler chickens challenged with Clostridium perfringens

Poultry Science, 2021
The application of probiotics in broiler feed, to alleviate performance deficiencies due to mild infections by coccidia and Clostridium perfringens, is of increasing interest for the poultry industry. Therefore, our objective was to evaluate the capacity

The incidence of necrotic enteritis in turkeys is associated with farm, season and faecal Eimeria oocyst counts

BMC Veterinary Research, 2021
Background Specific studies on the epidemiology of necrotic enteritis in turkeys are absent in the literature. Necrotic enteritis is common in turkeys and a leading cause of use of therapeutic antibiotics.

Clostridium perfringens-Induced Necrotic Diseases: An Overview

Immuno, 2022
Clostridium perfringens, a prevalent Gram-positive bacterium, causes necrotic diseases associated with abundant life loss and economic burdens of billions of USD. The mechanism of C. perfringens-induced necrotic diseases remains largely unknown, in part,

Variable protection against experimental broiler necrotic enteritis after immunisation with the C-terminal fragment of Clostridium perfringens alpha-toxin and a non-toxic NetB variant [PDF]

, 2016
Necrotic enteritis toxin B (NetB) is a pore-forming toxin produced by Clostridium perfringens and has been shown to play a key role in avian necrotic enteritis (NE), a disease causing significant costs to the poultry production industry worldwide.

Dietary Probiotic Supplementation Suppresses Subclinical Necrotic Enteritis in Broiler Chickens in a Microbiota-Dependent Manner

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
BackgroundChicken meat is one of the most consumed meats worldwide and poultry production is increasing at an exponential rate. Reducing antibiotic usage has resulted in the recurrence of subclinical necrotic enteritis again and influenced global poultry

Necrotic Enteritis in Young Calves [PDF]

Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation, 2011
Non–enterotoxin (CPE)–producing Clostridium perfringens type A has been associated with enteritis in calves. Recent evidence has suggested that a novel toxin, named beta2 (CPB2), is implicated in the pathogenesis of this disease, although there is little evidence supporting this. In the current study, the role of C. perfringens type A in an outbreak of
