Comparison of Western immunoblots and gene detection assays for identification of potentially enterotoxigenic isolates of Clostridium perfringens
1 Oct 1994
Abstract excerpt
Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin (CPE) is an important sporulation-associated virulence factor in several illnesses of humans and domestic animals, including C. perfringens type A food poisoning. Therefore, the ability to determine the enterotoxigenicity of food or fecal C. perfringens isolates with simple, rapid assays should be helpful for epidemiologic investigations. In this study, Western immunoblotting...
