Dissemination and pathogenesis of toxigenic <i>Clostridium perfringens</i> strains linked to neonatal intensive care units and Necrotising Enterocolitis

2021-08-03

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Clostridium perfringens is an anaerobic toxin-producing bacterium that has long been associated with intestinal diseases, particularly in neonatal humans and animals. More recently, infant gut microbiome studies have suggested an important link between C. perfringens and the devastating preterm-associated disease Necrotising Enterocolitis (NEC), but in-depth studies on this...
