Occurrence of Beta2 toxigenic Clostridium perfringens isolates with different toxin types in Iran

Clostridium perfringens is an important cause of enteric diseases in both human and animals. The bacteria produce several toxins which play key roles in the pathogenesis of diseases and are classified into five toxin types, on the basis of the differential production of Alpha, Beta, Epsilon and Iota toxins. In this study a single PCR assay was developed and used for detection of cpb2 gene to id...

Identification of enterototxin harboring gene among Clostridium perfringens isolates with different toxin types in Iran

Background: Clostridium perfringens is known as the most widely distributed pathogenic microorganism in nature. It is an extremely important pathogen of human and domestic animals. In a commonly used classification scheme, C. perfringens is divided into five toxinotypes (A to E) based on the production of four major toxins (alpha, beta, epsilon, and iota). Enterotoxin is not usually used for C....

Clostridium Perfringens Toxin Types Associated with Meat: Review in Iran

Food poisoning due to Clostridium perfringens (C. perfringens) is a major food health problem, particularly in terms of meat consumption. Due to human’s susceptibility to this pathogen, detection methods and prevention measures should be implemented to reduce its incidence. Several pathogenic strains of C. perfringens have been identified so far. One of the potential concerns about this bacteri...
