Clostridium perfringens: insight into virulence evolution and population structure.

Anaerobe - 1 Feb 2006

Sawires Youhanna S, Songer J Glenn

Abstract excerpt

Clostridium perfringens is an important pathogen in veterinary and medical fields. Diseases caused by this organism are in many cases life threatening or fatal. At the same time, it is part of the ecological community of the intestinal tract of man and animals. Virulence in this species is not fully understood and it does seem that there is erratic distribution of the toxin/enzyme genes within C. perfringens...
