Clostridium perfringens Major Toxins
Description
The Clostridium perfringens Major Toxins dtec-qPCR-Panel-2 comprises a series of specific targeted reagents designed for Clostridium perfringens Beta and Epsilon toxins detection by using qPCR. Clostridium perfringens is an 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. Toxinotype A produces only Alpha toxin; Toxinotype B produces Alpha, Beta and Epsilon toxins; Toxinotype C produces Alpha and Beta toxins; Toxinotype D produces Alpha and Epsilon toxins and Toxinotype E produces Alpha and Iota toxins. Several common diseases associated with C. perfringens are food-poisoning, gas gangrene, and many veterinary diseases.
