Evaluation of a toxoid fusion protein vaccine produced in plants to protect poultry against necrotic enteritis [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Background Necrotic enteritis (NE) is caused by type A strains of the bacterium Clostridium perfringens. Total global economic losses to the poultry industry due to NE is estimated to be over two billion dollars annually.

Genotyping of Clostridium perfringens Isolates from Domestic Livestock in Saudi Arabia
BioMed Research International, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020 The present study was undertaken to confirm the genetic identity of Clostridium perfringens isolates from domestic livestock in Saudi Arabia and to characterize the genes encoding to alpha, beta, epsilon, and iota (α‐, β‐, ε‐, and ι‐) toxins. C. perfringens were confirmed in 104 out of 136 isolates on multiplex polymerase chain reaction using specific ...

Sequence of two plasmids from Clostridium perfringens chicken necrotic enteritis isolates and comparison with C. perfringens conjugative plasmids. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Twenty-six isolates of Clostridium perfringens of different MLST types from chickens with necrotic enteritis (NE) (15 netB-positive) or from healthy chickens (6 netB-positive, 5 netB-negative) were found to contain 1-4 large plasmids, with most netB ...

Molecular and Structural Characterisation of Epsilon Toxin and Necrotic Enteritis Toxin B: Two Pore-forming Toxins from Clostridium Perfringens [PDF]
, 2013 Epsilon toxin (Etx) and necrotic enteritis toxin B (NetB) are two pore-forming toxins produced by C. perfringens. While Etx has been shown to be the key virulence factor for enterotoxemia in goats and sheep, NetB has been associated with the pathogenesis

Structural and Functional Analysis of the Pore-Forming Toxin NetB from
mBio, 2013 Clostridium perfringens is an anaerobic bacterium that causes numerous important human and animal diseases, primarily as a result of its ability to produce many different protein toxins. In chickens, C. perfringens causes necrotic enteritis, a disease of

First Microbiological and Molecular Identification of Rhodococcus equi in Feces of Nondiarrheic Cats
BioMed Research International, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019 Rhodococcus equi is responsible for infections in multiple‐host animals. In humans, the prevalence of rhodococcus has increased worldwide and represents an emergent risk. R. equi is a soil‐borne opportunistic bacterium isolated from feces of a wide variety of domestic species, except cats; thus, there is no known potential risk of its transmission from
