Atypical cpb2 Genes, Encoding Beta2-Toxin in Clostridium perfringens Isolates of Nonporcine Origin

Beta2-toxin, encoded by cpb2, is implicated in the pathogenesis of Clostridium perfringens enteritis. However, cpb2 genes from nonporcine C. perfringens isolates were not always expressed, at least in vitro. Nucleotide sequencing identified atypical cpb2 genes with 70.2 to 70.7% DNA identity to prev...
