Attack of the nervous system by Clostridium perfringens Epsilon toxin: From disease to mode of action on neural cells

27 Apr 2013

Abstract excerpt

Epsilon toxin (ET), produced by Clostridium perfringens types B and D, ranks among the four most potent poisonous substances known so far. ET-intoxication is responsible for enterotoxaemia in animals, mainly sheep and goats. This disease comprises several manifestations indicating the attack of the nervous system. This review aims to summarize the effects of ET on central nervous system. ET binds to endothelial...
