[ 1 ] - Detection and Frequency of Enterotoxin (cpa,cpe) Genes of Clostridium perfringens Isolated from Dehydrated Vegetables by PCR

Background and Objective: Clostridium perfringens is an anaerobic bacterium, commonly present in retail foods. Its enterotoxin-producing ability, short generation time, ability to grow at elevated temperatures, and spore-forming ability, allows it to survive in food-processing temperatures, and cause foodborne illness.
