Some Observations on Clostridium perfringens Strains Isolated in IRAN

Anomalous Clostridium welchii type b strains isolated in Iran.

Antimicrobial susceptibility of Clostridium perfringens strains isolated from broiler chickens

Clostridium perfringens is a normal inhabitant of the intestinal tract of chickens as well as a potential pathogen that causes necrotic enteritis and colangio hepatitis. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of seven different compounds used for therapy, growth promotion or prevention of coccidiosis was determined by agar dilution method for 55 C. perfringens strains isolated from the inte...

Radiation resistance of spores of some Clostridium perfringens strains.

Clostridium perfringens spores (eight strains) were irradiated in a model system with 60Co gamma rays at -30 C. The quantal response data obtained were analyzed with extreme value statistics. It was found (at the 95% confidence level) that all eight strains followed the same rate of death and that this rate was probably (at the 95% level) not exponential. The statistics did not exclude, however...

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...
