Isolation and identification of Clostridium septicum from sheep-dung
Authors
Abstract:
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 of Clostridia contain of Cl. Septicum (6 isolates), Cl. Perfringens (5 isolates), Cl. novyi (4 isolates), Cl. fallax (4 isolates), Cl. innoccum (3 isolates), Cl. subterminale (2 isolates), Cl. carnis (2 isolates), Cl. ramosum (1 isolate), Cl. bifformentanse (1 isolate). All six isolated of Cl.septicum were confirmed by indirect florescent antibody test while other species were negative. PCR was performed for confirmation of isolation by using designed primers with respect to a segment of hemolysin gene (alpha or lethal toxin). All six isolates showed 270-bp band on agarose gel electrophoresis, suggesting conserved sequence for lethal toxin in Cl. septicum isolates. In this work we have isolated different Cl.septicum from sheep-dung in Urmia and biochemical, indirect immunoflorescent antibody and polymerase chain reaction tests suggesting that PCR could be selected as specific and quick method for identification of this bacterium.

The aim of this study was to isolate, identify and determine the antimicrobial susceptibility of Clostridium perfringens (CP) isolates from acute necrotic enteritis of broiler chickens. All broiler carcasses diagnosed as necrotic enteritis (NE) were sampled, subjected to microbial tests and 40 isolates were identified according to standard procedures. The antimicrobial susceptibility of CP isol...

Production of toxins by Clostridium septicum and Clostridium chauvoei has been the subject of many conflicting reports. Roux and Chamberland (1887) first noted that 3 to 4 day filtrates were antigenic; conferring on guinea pigs an immunity against infection with viable organisms. Production of a lethal toxin by C. septicum was however, demonstrated by Leclainche (1898) and Leclainche and Morel ...

During one year period from 2010 to 2011 the samples from pneumonic animals were taken and transported to the laboratory. Pasteurella multocida were identified in 16.6% of animal by biochemical test. The high incidence of P. multocida was obtained in the south of Fars province, where the area was warm region. The Mean Death Time between the isolates was 12-18 and 19-24 hours. Only the capsular ...
