Clostridium perfringens as the flora in the intestine of healthy persons.

چکیده
The ecological behavior of Clostridium perfringens in the human intestine was investigated by using a quantitative method for bacterial count . C. perfringens was found in all the fecal specimens from healthy persons and in almost all the contents of the large intestine of corpse . The actual number of the organisms ranged from 101 to 109 per g of feces. The heat resistant C. perfringens was detected in about half of the fecal specimens heated at 100C for 60 min, and the number were less than 106 per g of the feces. The resistant organisms seemed to be a permanent inhabitant in some persons. Using the Hobbs' factor sera (Types 1 to 13), the serotypable strains were frequently found among the isolates from the heated specimens, and two or more serological types were often found in single specimens. On the other hand, changes in serotypes in a person were observed by repeated examinations. The behavior of C. perfringens in the colon and ileum of the corpse were similar to that in fecal specimens from healthy persons. However , C. perfringens were isolated from the jejunal contents of only 3 out of 12 corpses. All the isolates from jejunum were heat sensitive and three of them were agglutinated by Hobbs' factor sera. The toxinogenicities (ƒÈ and ƒÆ) of the untypable isolates were dependent on the temperature of heating used for isolation, while those of the typable ones varied independently of the temperature.

Clostridial myositis, considered to be rare in pet animals, is an acutely fatal toxaemic condition. Some species of clostridia are responsible for necrotic myositis. A 2-year-old male German shepherd dog was admitted with non-weight bearing lameness and massive swelling of the left hind limb. Clostridium perfringens type A with alpha toxin was diagnosed as a pathogenic agent. Based on ...

Clostridium perfringens strain LLY_N11, a commensal bacterium, which previously induced necrotic enteritis in an experimental study, was isolated from the intestine of a young healthy chicken. Here, we present the complete genome sequence of this strain, which may provide a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in necrotic enteritis pathogenesis.
