Abstract

NanI is a sialidase produced by some Clostridium perfringens type F strains. Here, we found that NanI can significantly increase the action of C. perfringens enterotoxin (CPE), which is the main toxin responsible for severe human enteric disease caused by type F strains. This effect likely helps to explain why even some type F strains that produce small amounts of CPE are pathogenic.
