Clostridium perfringens spore germination: characterization of germinants and their receptors.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Feb 2008

Paredes-Sabja Daniel, Torres J Antonio, Setlow Peter, Sarker Mahfuzur R

Abstract excerpt

Clostridium perfringens food poisoning is caused by type A isolates carrying a chromosomal enterotoxin (cpe) gene (C-cpe), while C. perfringens-associated non-food-borne gastrointestinal (GI) diseases are caused by isolates carrying a plasmid-borne cpe gene (P-cpe). C. perfringens spores are thought to be the important infectious cell morphotype, and after inoculation into a suitable host, these spores must...
