Abstract excerpt
Clostridium perfringens isolates are currently classified into one of five biotypes on the basis of the differential production of alpha-, beta-, epsilon- and iota-toxins. Different biotypes are associated with different diseases of man and animals. In this study a multiple PCR assay was developed to detect the genes encoding these toxins. In addition, detection of the genes encoding the C. perfringens...
