Characterization of virulence plasmid diversity among Clostridium perfringens type B isolates.

Infection and immunity - 1 Jan 2010

Sayeed Sameera, Li Jihong, McClane Bruce A

Abstract excerpt

The important veterinary pathogen Clostridium perfringens type B is unique for producing the two most lethal C. perfringens toxins, i.e., epsilon-toxin and beta-toxin. Our recent study (K. Miyamoto, J. Li, S. Sayeed, S. Akimoto, and B. A. McClane, J. Bacteriol. 190:7178-7188, 2008) showed that most, if not all, type B isolates carry a 65-kb epsilon-toxin-encoding plasmid. However, this epsilon-toxin plasmid did...
