ABSTRACT
Ezatkhah M, Alimolaei M, Shamsaddini Bafti M, Amini M., Biochemical
and PCR detection of Clostridium perfringens genotypes from camels, Onl J Vet Res., 19(8): 567-571, 2015. Clostridium
perfringens a gram positive, sporulating anaerobic bacterium is responsible for a wide
spectrum of anaerobic diseases in animals and humans. We report occurrence of C. perfringens isolates detected by
biochemical and PCR genotyping from 31 camel stool samples collected from farms with suspected
enterotoxemia. Multiplex PCR results detected 19
positive samples of which 17 were biotype A, and 2 type D. The findings
suggest the presence of C. perfringens toxin genes in camels in Iran.
Keywords: Isolation, Clostridium
perfringens, Camels, Iran.
