Over a 14-month period at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, 424 strains of Clostridium were isolated; of these, 52 strains were Clostridium perfringens isolated from 41 patients. Eight strains of C. peeingens were isolated from the blood of six patients; five of these patients had neoplastic disease

Clostridium perfringens (Veillon & Zuber) Hauduroy et al. ( C. perfringens ) is a strict anaerobic, gram -positive, spore -forming bacterium that causes a variety of human and veterinary diseases. In 1892, William H. Welch and George Nuttall discovered these bacteria in gangrenous wounds. At that ti
## Abstract A sensitive twoβsite, enzymeβlinked immunoassay utilizing electrochemical detection has been developed for __Clostridium perfringens__ phospholipase C (Ξ± toxin). Alkaline phosphatase conjugated to a mouse monoclonal antibody is used as the enzyme label. The enzyme activity is measured u
Anaerobic joint infections may be a more common occurrence than previously reported. A nine-year-old with a septic knee due to Clostridium perfringens following a puncture wound was seen in the emergency department. Diagnosis was established by isolating the organism from an anaerobic synovial fluid
Clostridium perfringens sepsis following orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is a rare but reported complication that historically results in mortality or emergent retransplantation (ReTx). Complications from C. perfringens emphysematous gastritis have contributed to the death of a healthy live l
A fluorescent assay for Clostridium Perfringens phospholipase C is described using l-palmitoyl-2-[6(pyren-l-yl)hexanoyl]-snglycero-3-phospho-N-(trinitrophenyl)aminoethanol (PPHTE) as the substrate. This method is based on the decrease of the quenching of pyrene monomer fluorescence when phospholipas
