Abstract
Clostridium perfringens
type F strains cause food poisoning (FP) when they sporulate and produce
C. perfringens
enterotoxin (CPE) in the intestines. Most type F FP strains carry a chromosomal
cpe
gene (c-
cpe
strains).
C. perfringens
produces up to three different sialidases, named NanH, NanI, and NanJ, but some c-
cpe
FP strains carry only
nanJ
and
nanH
genes.
