Novel insights into the epidemiology of Clostridium perfringens type A food poisoning.

Food microbiology - 1 Apr 2011

Lindström Miia, Heikinheimo Annamari, Lahti Päivi, Korkeala Hannu

Abstract excerpt

Clostridium perfringens food poisoning ranks among the most common gastrointestinal diseases in developed countries. The disease is caused by C. perfringens enterotoxin (CPE) encoded by cpe and produced by less than 5% of C. perfringens type A strains. Molecular epidemiological research in the past 15 years has focused on the reservoirs and routes of cpe-positive C. perfringens aiming to clarify the role and...
