Clostridium perfringens Major Toxins
Description
The CloPer-MjTx-Panel-4 comprises a series of species-specific targeted reagents designed for detection of the 4 major toxins from Clostridium perfringens (alpha, beta, epsilon and iota) by using qPCR. Clostridium perfringens is a ubiquitous pathogen that produces many toxins and hydrolytic enzymes related with different diseases. This bacterium has 5 different toxinotypes (named A, B, C, D and E) and 4 major toxins (named Alpha, Beta, Epsilon and Iota). The toxinotypes are a broad description and can contain one or more toxins (see table).
| Major toxins | ||||
| Toxinotype | Alpha | Beta | Epsilon | Iota |
| A | + | – | – | – |
| B | + | + | + | – |
| C | + | + | – | – |
| D | + | – | + | – |
| E | + | – | – | + |
Several common diseases associated with C. perfringens are food-poisoning, gas gangrene, and many veterinary diseases.
