  1. Characterizing the Contributions of Various Clostridium perfringens Enterotoxin Properties to In Vivo and In Vitro Permeability Effects

    • mSphere

    • mSphere, Ahead of Print. Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin (CPE) is thought to cause lethal enterotoxemia when absorbed from the intestinal lumen into the circulation. CPE action sequentially involves receptor-binding, oligomerization into a prepore, and pore formation.

  2. NanH Is Produced by Sporulating Cultures of Clostridium perfringens Type F Food Poisoning Strains and Enhances the Cytotoxicity of C. perfringens Enterotoxin

    • mSphere

    • ABSTRACT Clostridium perfringens type F food poisoning (FP) strains cause one of the most common foodborne illnesses. This FP develops when type F FP strains sporulate in the intestines and produce C. perfringens enterotoxin (CPE), which is responsible for the diarrhea and abdominal cramps of this disease. While C.
