Characterization of Sporulation and Germination Genes in Clostridium perfringens

Creator:

Talukdar, Prabhat Kumar

Abstract:

Clostridium perfringens is a Gram-positive, anaerobic, spore-forming bacterium that can produce as many as 17 different toxins and are responsible to cause a wide array of gastrointestinal (GI) and histotoxic diseases in humans and animals. As individual strains produce a subset of these toxins, C. perfringens strains can be classified...

Inactivation of Clostridium perfringens in Meat Products

Creator:

Alnoman, Maryam M.

Abstract:

Clostridium perfringens type A strains are one of the main causative agents of gastrointestinal (GI) diseases in human and can cause both food poisoning (FP) and non-food-borne (NFB) diseases. Several factors contribute to the pathogenesis of C. perfringens type A strains including the wide presence of C. perfringens spores with...

Clostridium perfringens spores : inactivation, germination, and formation

Creator:

Udompijitkul, Pathima

Abstract:

The enterotoxin-producing Clostridium perfringens type A isolates are responsible for the third most common foodborne illness in the United States and can also cause non-foodborne human gastrointestinal (GI) diseases such as antibiotic- associated and sporadic diarrheas. Three important factors contribute to the ability of C. perfringens to cause GI diseases,...

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...
