Phylogenomic analysis of <i>Clostridium perfringens</i> identifies isogenic strains in gastroenteritis outbreaks, and novel virulence-related features

2019-06-13

Abstract excerpt

Clostridium perfringens is a major enteric pathogen known to cause gastroenteritis in human adults. Although major outbreak cases are frequently reported, limited Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) based studies have been performed to understand the genomic epidemiology and virulence gene content of C. perfringens -associated outbreak strains. We performed both genomic and phylogenetic analysis on 109 C. perfringens...
