Avirulent Clostridium perfringens strains obtained by euflavine treatment.

Genomic diversity of Clostridium perfringens strains isolated from food and human sources

Clostridium perfringens is a serious pathogen which causes enteric diseases in domestic animals and food poisoning in humans. Spores can survive cooking processes and play an important role in the possible onset of disease. In this study, RAPD-PCR and REPPCR were used to examine the genetic diversity of 49 isolates of C. perfringens type A from three different sources. The results of RAPD-PCR r...

Isolation of Toxigenic Strains of Clostridium perfringens from the Soil of Farms in Iran

Some Observations on Clostridium perfringens Strains Isolated in IRAN

DETECTION OF BOVINE Clostridium perfringens BY POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION

A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay to detect Clostridium perfringens alpha toxin gene (cpa) was used to identify eighty-nine C. perfringens strains obtained from bovine clinical material. The strains were biochemically characterized as C. perfringens. The isolated strains were cultured on plates containing brain heart infusion agar with 5% sheep blood under anaerobic conditions. DNA extrac...

Typing of Toxigenic Isolates of Clostridium perfringens by Multiplex PCR in Ostrich

Clostridium perfringens is an important pathogen that provokes numerous different diseases. This bacterium is classified into five various types, each of which capable of causing a distinct disease. There are various methods for the bacterial identification, many are labor-intensive, time-consuming, expensive and also show low sensitivity and specificity. The aim of this research was to identif...
