Enterotoxin formation by Clostridium perfringens type A in a defined medium.

R G Labbe
PMCID: PMC243683  PMID: 6261685

Abstract

Enterotoxin was produced by 9 of 10 strains of Clostridium perfringens type A when grown in a defined medium. Additional dextrin increased the amount of enterotoxin in extracts of sporulating cells of strain NCTC 10239.
