  • Molecular mechanism of germination of Clostridium perfringens spores

    Creator:
    Paredes-Sabja, Daniel
    Abstract:
    Clostridium perfringens is the causative agent of a wide variety of diseases in animals and humans. C. perfringens can produce more than 15 toxins. However, individual strains produce a subset of these toxins. Although a small percentage of C. perfringens isolates (mostly belonging to type A) produce C. perfringens enterotoxin...

  • Characterization of germination of Clostridium perfringens spores from various sources

    Creator:
    Alnoman, Maryam M.
    Abstract:
    Clostridium perfringens is a pathogenic anaerobic bacterium able to produce more than 17 toxins, allowing C. perfringins to cause a wide variety of diseases in humans and animals. Beside toxins production, C. perfringens able to form a highly resistance spores can survive in the environments for years. These spores are...

  • Role of Plc in the germination of Clostridium perfringens food poisoning isolate SM101

    Creator:
    Bond, Colton B.
    Abstract:
    Clostridium perfringens is the causative agent of gas gangrene and the 3rd most common cause of type A food borne disease in the United States. Critical to the pathogenicity of C. perfringens is the ability of this bacterium to produce highly resistant, metabolically dormant spores that can resume metabolic function...

  • Molecular basis for Clostridium perfringens spore resistance to heat and other environmental stress factors

    Creator:
    Raju, Deepa
    Abstract:
    Clostridium perfringens type A isolates producing enterotoxin (CPE) are an important cause of both food poisoning (FP) and non food borne gastrointestinal diseases (NFBGID) in both humans and animals. C. perfringens type A food poisoning is caused by isolates carrying the CPE encoding gene (cpe) on the chromosome while the...

  • Clostridium perfringens sporulation and gliding motility

    Creator:
    Huang, I-Hsiu
    Abstract:
    Clostridium perfringens type A isolates, an anaerobic enterotoxigenic spore forming bacterium, are the third leading cause of food-borne disease in the United States. Factors that contribute to the virulence of C. perfringens include the ability of the bacterium to form heat resistant spores and to produce an enterotoxin (CPE). Although...
