A cross-sectional study was carried out from November 2016 to May 2017 isolate and identify Clostridium tetani. total of 71 samples (equine deep wound swabs, feces, soil the feces contaminated environment) were collected. Isolation tetani using an anaerobic Viande et Foie (VF) medium. Out cultured on VF medium, 27 (38%) them grown all confirmed be spore staining biochemical tests. Study site sa...

The objective of this study was to describe the first report involving a case of equine acute myonecrosis caused by C. novyi type A with an emphasis on clinical signs, the pathological and bacteriological analysis, and molecular identification of the microorganisms as the key of the definitive diagnosis.

Effective microbial metabolic engineering is reliant on efficient gene transfer. Here we present a simple screening strategy that may be deployed to isolate rare, hypertransformable variants. The procedure was used to increase the frequency of transformation of the solvent producing organism Clostridium pasteurianum by three to four orders of magnitude.

Herein, we report the main characteristics of 'Clostridium massiliodielmoense' strain mt26 (= CSUR P2255), representative of a new species isolated from the gastrointestinal tract of a healthy 28-month-old Senegalese boy.

OBJECTIVE This study aims to provide a comprehensive review of the role of Collagenase Clostridium histolyticum (CCH). METHODS This review is based on a literature review and practical experience. RESULTS This review provides practical management strategies for using collagenase by sharing clinical experiences over the past few years; logistical aspects of in-clinic treatment, lessons learn...

The steady-state kinetic parameters of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate-dependent recombinant methionine γ -lyase from three pathogenic bacteria, Clostridium tetani, Clostridium sporogenes, and Porphyromonas gingivalis, were determined in β- and γ-elimination reactions. The enzyme from C. sporogenes is characterized by the highest catalytic efficiency in the γ-elimination reaction of L-methionine. It was...

PURPOSE To investigate the genetic diversity of toxigenic Clostridium strains isolated from soil, water, meat and its associated polluted sites of Southern India. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 27 identified isolates of six different toxigenic clostridial species including C. bifermentans , C. botulinum , C. chauvoei , C. ramosum , C. tetani and C. novyi were isolated and characterized by c...
