  2. Molecular Characterisation Of Clostridium Perfringens Isolates From Patients At Groote Schuur Hospital

    … lacks published data on the specific strains and toxin types responsible for human clostridial infections, as only identification and drug susceptibility testing are done in routine laboratories. The main aim of this study was to characterise 19 clinical isolates of C. perfringens (collected …

  3. Studies on Virulence Factors of Clostridium perfringens and Necrotic Enteritis in Chickens

    … the disease is still unknown today. The role of alpha toxin (AT) in the pathogenesis of the disease has recently come into question. AT production and AT activity among 18 characterized CP strains was investigated. The overall AT results show that there must be other factors involved in the …

  4. The Interactions of Clostridium Perfringens With Phagocytic Cells

    … the bacterium can synthesize thirteen different toxins. The alpha toxin (PLC) and perfringolysin O (PFO) are thought to be important virulence factors in gangrene. We wished to understand how C. perfringens is capable of avoiding killing by the host immune system, and determine if PLC and PFO …

  5. Epidemiology and Pathophysiology of Clostridial Dermatitis (Cellulitis) in Turkeys

    … conducive to germination, proliferation, and toxin production by previously trapped, non-replicative Clostridia. Studies were undertaken to investigate the epidemiology and pathophysiology of CD. Retrospective epidemiologic investigations evaluated incidence, risk factors, and economic impact …

  6. Role of ROK and PKC in Permeabilized Rabbit Femoral Artery

    … arteries were permeabilized with 20µg/ml α-toxin and 1% Triton X-100 and subjected to different calcium concentrations in the presence or absence of various ROK inhibitors. For a comparison we also used various PKC and MLCK inhibitors and repeated these experiments in intact tissues. We …
