Nishida, Shoki (Kanazawa University, Kanazawa, Japan), and Masaaki Imaizumi. Toxigenicity of Clostridium histolyticum. J. Bacteriol. 91:477-483. 1966.-From 234 soil samples, 21 strains of Clostridium histolyticum of different levels of alpha-toxigenicity were isolated by a new method specially designed for the isolation of this species. The alpha-toxigenicity of freshly isolated strains and of ...

Injectable collagenase clostridium histolyticum for Dupuytren's contracture.

BACKGROUND Dupuytren's disease limits hand function, diminishes the quality of life, and may ultimately disable the hand. Surgery followed by hand therapy is standard treatment, but it is associated with serious potential complications. Injection of collagenase clostridium histolyticum, an office-based, nonsurgical option, may reduce joint contractures caused by Dupuytren's disease. METHODS W...
