Characterization of Toxin Plasmids in <i>Clostridium perfringens</i> Type C Isolates
8 Sept 2010
Abstract excerpt
Clostridium perfringens type C isolates cause enteritis necroticans in humans or necrotizing enteritis and enterotoxemia in domestic animals. Type C isolates always produce alpha toxin and beta toxin but often produce additional toxins, e.g., beta2 toxin or enterotoxin.
