Effect of Lysozyme on Ionic Forms of Spores of Clostridium perfringens Type A

Yoshiaki Ando 1
PMCID: PMC246121  PMID: 236284

Abstract

H spores of Clostridium perfringens type A (two strains) were more sensitive to germination by lysozyme than native spores. Resistance to lysozyme of H spores was restored by calcium loading.
