enterotoxemia

..While best known for its role in pathogenesis of enteritis and enterotoxemia in domestic animals, its high toxicity, ease of production, even in developing nations, and ability to act ..

..The Clostridium perfringens epsilon toxin, a Category B Select Agent, is responsible for a severe, often fatal enterotoxemia characterized by cardiac, pulmonary, kidney, and brain edema...

..The Clostridium perfringens epsilon toxin, a Category B Select Agent, is responsible for a severe, often fatal enterotoxemia characterized by cardiac, pulmonary, kidney, and brain edema...

..Until more consistent results are achieved, the diagnosis of enterotoxemia should not only be based solely on epsilon toxin detection, but also on clinical and pathological data.

The pathological findings in sheep with peracute experimental Clostridium perfringens type D enterotoxemia are described...

..These results suggest that epsilon toxin modifies ion and water transport in the small and the large intestine of goats and sheep through different mechanisms...

b>Enterotoxemia caused by Clostridium perfringens type D is a highly lethal disease of sheep, goats and other ruminants. The diagnosis of this condition is usually confirmed by detection of epsilon toxin, a major exotoxin produced by C...

..These cases follow a more protracted clinical course, but death is the usual outcome. The precise pathogenesis of the focal brain damage found in subacutely intoxicated sheep is unresolved, but several possible mechanisms are discussed...

..This is the first detection of C. perfringens alpha and beta2 toxin in cod and of beta2 toxin in fish in general. The origin of this bacterium in cod is discussed...

..Clostridium perfringens Type A was isolated. Some isolates carried the gene for beta2 toxin, suggesting a role for beta2 toxin in caprine enterotoxemia, a common cause of death in growing kids.

..This ELISA method was subjected to an international validation to verify whether the protocol and the precision can be transferred within and between the participating laboratories...

Clostridium perfringens type D isolates cause enterotoxemia in sheep, goats, and probably cattle...

..However, isolation of beta2-toxigenic C. perfringens does not confirm the clinical diagnosis of bovine enterotoxaemia and a clostridial cell counts must still be performed...

..This finding suggests the existence of 2 cpb2 subtypes. This is the first report of enterotoxemia associated with the presence of C...

..Furthermore, the real-time PCR carried out as simplex allows to quantitate the copy numbers of plasmid-borne toxin genes in relation to the chromosomally located alpha-toxin gene...

..9%) and infrequently in isolates from healthy cattle (6.9%). These data suggest that the typical variant of the CPB2 toxin may play a role in the pathogenesis of cattle enterotoxaemia...

..Service and to establish a relationship between dietary indiscretion and the presence of clostridial enterotoxemia. Stool samples were obtained from 38 control animals and 44 animals with vomiting and diarrhea during a 3-..

b>Enterotoxemia caused by Clostridium glycolicum was identified as the cause of circulatory collapse and death in a female, 3-yr-old, captive-bred ornate Nile monitor (Varanus ornatus)...

..In addition, neurologic signs are described with C perfringens types C and D but are not the dominant feature of these diseases...
