Enterotoxemias: Overview ( Clostridium perfringens infection) |  |
|
|
| Clostridium perfringens is widely distributed in the soil and the GI tract of animals and is characterized by its ability to produce potent exotoxins, some of which are responsible for specific enterotoxemias. Five types (A, B, C, D, and E) have been identified, but type E is of questionable significance in disease. |
