Biochemical Properties of the Toxins of Clostridium novyi and Clostridium hemolyticum.

The essential characteristics of the species Clostridium hemolyticum.

Clostridium hemolyticum was first described by Vawter and Records (J. Am. Vet. Med. Assoc., 68, 494, 1926) who found it to be the causative agent of bovine hemoglobinuria in Nevada, and who named it Clostridium hemolyticum bovis. Sordelli et al., (Compt. rend. soc. biol., 106, 142, 1931) in Chile, isolated from cattle afflicted with a similar disease a pathogenic Clostridium which they consider...

Isolation and identification of Clostridium septicum from sheep-dung

  To study the existence of Clostridium septicum as probable agent associated with currently occurrence of black quarter in Urmia area, sheep-dung samples were collected. The bacteriological examinations on suspicious gram positive anaerobic spore-bearing bacilli which are in Clostridia genus include isolation and biochemical identification were performed. The results showed 28 different types ...

Plasmidome Interchange between Clostridium botulinum, Clostridium novyi and Clostridium haemolyticum Converts Strains of Independent Lineages into Distinctly Different Pathogens

Clostridium botulinum (group III), Clostridium novyi and Clostridium haemolyticum are well-known pathogens causing animal botulism, gas gangrene/black disease, and bacillary hemoglobinuria, respectively. A close genetic relationship exists between the species, which has resulted in the collective term C. novyi sensu lato. The pathogenic traits in these species, e.g., the botulinum neurotoxin an...
