| Abstract: | Background
Clostridium perfringens, a serious pathogen, causes enteric diseases in domestic animals and food poisoning in humans. The epidemiological relationship
between C. perfringens isolates from the same source has previously been investigated chiefly by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). In this
study the genetic diversity of C. perfringens isolated from various animals, from food poisoning outbreaks and from sludge was investigated. |
