Clostridium perfringens: Comparative effects of heat and osmotic stress on non-enterotoxigenic and enterotoxigenic strains

CC Abbona, PV Stagnitta - Anaerobe, 2016 - Elsevier
Clostridium perfringens isolates associated with food poisoning carries a chromosomal cpe
gene, while non-foodborne human gastrointestinal disease isolates carry a plasmid cpe
gene. The enterotoxigenic strains tested produced vegetative cells and spores with
significantly higher resistance than non-enterotoxigenic strains. These results suggest that
the vegetative cells and spores have a competitive advantage over non-enterotoxigenic
strains. However, no explanation has been provided for the significant associations between …
