Identification of Novel Clostridium perfringens Type E Strains That Carry an Iota Toxin Plasmid with a Functional Enterotoxin Gene

31 May 2011

Abstract excerpt

Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin (CPE) is a major virulence factor for human gastrointestinal diseases, such as food poisoning and antibiotic associated diarrhea. The CPE-encoding gene (cpe) can be chromosomal or plasmid-borne. Recent development of conventional PCR cpe-genotyping assays makes it possible to identify cpe location (chromosomal or plasmid) in type A isolates. Initial studies for developing cpe...
