Abstract

The bacterial genus Clostridium includes many gram-positive, anaerobic, sporeforming species, a number of which are responsible for significant human and veterinary diseases (Rood et al. 1997). As their outstanding virulence attribute, these pathogenic Clostridia share the ability to elaborate extremely potent protein toxins (Rood et al. 1997). With the recent development of tools and techniques for analyzing clostridial genetics (Rood et al. 1997), it is now becoming feasible to investigate the genetics and regulation of expression of these clostridial toxins.KeywordsRestriction Fragment Length PolymorphismFood PoisoningRestriction Fragment Length Polymorphism AnalysisClostridium PerfringensEnterotoxin GeneThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
