Genetic organization of the cpe locus in C. perfringens type A isolates. (I) Type A isolates carrying a cpe plasmid, including the sequenced ∼9-kbp XbaI cpe-containing fragment of the cpe plasmid from sporadic diarrhea isolate F4969 (A) and the deduced plasmid cpe locus of isolates F4013 (B). (II) The previously described (5) chromosomal cpe locus of food poisoning strain NCTC8239 is shown for comparison. Broad bars show ORFs; arrows under ORFs indicate orientation. Numbers shown for F4969 indicate nucleotide bases. Long thin bars depict the PCR products amplified with each primer pair (see the text).
