  • 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...

  • 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,...

  • Characterization of germinant receptors in Clostridium perfringens non-food-borne isolates

    Creator:
    Banawas, Saeed S.
    Abstract:
    C. perfringens is a Gram-positive, spore-forming, anaerobic pathogenic bacterium capable of causing a wide variety of diseases in both humans and animals. However, the two most common illnesses in humans are C. perfringens type A food poisoning (FP) and non-food-borne (NFB) gastrointestinal (GI) illnesses . These two major diseases are...

  • 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...

  • 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...
