Isolation and Molecular Detection of Clostridium Chauvoei Alpha Toxin Gene from Clinical Cases of Black Quarter in Cattle
نویسندگان
چکیده
The objective of the present study was to isolate and identify Clostridium chauvoei from swab (n=750) and tissue (n=50) samples from cattle suspected for black quarter in six districts belonging to different climatic zones (Punjab, Pakistan). Conventional culture methods showed 192(25.6%) and 19(38%) positive from swab and tissues respectively for this bacterium. These bacterial isolates were further processed and confirmed by Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) by amplifying and (Ccta) gene sequences. An amplicon of 836 bp corresponding to 16SrRNA genesequence was obtained. PCR confirmed 140 (72.9%) and 41 (82%) positive samples from swab and tissues respectively.It is concluded that PCR was found an efficient tool for precise detection of Clostridium chauvoei

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 ...

An Indian elephant (Elephas maximus) which died of acute fatal myonecrosis was examined to determine the aetiology of the infection. The causative organism was identified as Clostridium perfringens type A. Out of five genes encoding for major toxins (cpa, cpb, etx, iA, and cpe genes) the isolate was found to harbour the cpa gene only, as tested by multiplex polymerase chain reaction. It flanks ...

Clostridium perfringens is a gram-positive, obligate anaerobic bacterium, which is widely distributed in the environment. C. perfringens is subdivided to 5 groups (types A to E), based on its four major toxin (alpha, beta, epsilon and iota). C. perfringens type B beta toxin causes inflammation and bloody necrotic enteritis. Type B related enterotoxaemia is a major problem of veterinary sciences...
