Rapid detection and quantitation of Clostridium perfringens enterostoxin by counterimmunoelectrophoresis.

چکیده
Conditions for detection and quantitation of Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin by counterimmunoelectrophoresis are described. As little as 0.2 microgram of enterotoxin per ml could be detected. The test was found to be rapid, sensitive, specific and easy for the detection and quantitation of enterotoxin.

Detection of Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin in human fecal samples and anti-enterotoxin in sera.
By using counterimmunoelectrophoresis (CIEP), Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin was successfully demonstrated in fecal samples collected within 1 day of attack from sick individuals involved in a bacteriologically and epidemiologically proven outbreak of C. perfringens food poisoning. In contrast, enterotoxin was not demonstrable in fecal samples of apparently healthy individuals both at high...
متن کاملOccurrence 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...

Fusion protein technology represents the strategy to achieve rapid, efficient, and cost-effective proteinexpression. Epsilon and Beta toxins are the most potent Clostridial toxins and cause disease in animals.This study describes in silico fusion of Clostridium perfringens types D and B epsilon and beta toxin genesthat was used for cloning in E.coli. The etx and cpb genes were...
متن کاملMolecular typing of toxigenic Clostridum perfringens isolated from sheep in Iran
In this research a molecular method based on polymerase chain reaction for typing of Clostridium perfringens was developed and toxin genotypes of 64 isolates from sheep and goats in Iran were determined. The PCR assays were developed for detection of alpha (cpa), beta (cpb) and epsilon (etx) toxin genes, allowing classification of the isolates into genotypes A B, C and D. The field isolates ...
متن کاملThe Rapid CAMP Test for Identification of Streptococcus agalactiae Using Alpha Toxin
Alpha toxin derived from Clostridium perfringens was used for diagnosis of Streptococcus agalactiae (St.agalactiae) by rapid and spot CAMP tests. The selected Cl.perfringens strain was cultured in optimized conditions; the supernatant of culture was concentrated by ultra filter and purified by DEAE cellulose chromatography. The efficacy of both purified and crude α-toxins were examined by rapid...
