Real Time PCR Detection Kit Clostridium perfringens Major Toxins Panel (beta and epsilon)

The Real Time PCR detection Kit Clostridium perfringens Major Toxins Panel (beta and epsilon) comprises a series of specific targeted reagents designed for Clostridium perfringens Beta and Epsilon toxins detection by using qPCR.

GENERAL INFORMATION:Clostridium perfringens is an ubiquitous pathogen that produces many toxins and hydrolytic enzymes related with different diseases. This bacterium has 5 different toxinotypes (named A, B, C, D and E) and 4 major toxins (named Alpha, Beta, Epsilon and Iota). The toxinotypes are a broad description and can contain one or more toxins. Toxinotype A produces only Alpha toxin; Toxinotype B produces Alpha, Beta and Epsilon toxins; Toxinotype C produces Alpha and Beta toxins; Toxinotype D produces Alpha and Epsilon toxins and Toxinotype E produces Alpha and Iota toxins. Several common diseases associated with C. perfringens are food-poisoning, gas gangrene, and many veterinary diseases.
