Intra-species diversity of Clostridium perfringens: A diverse genetic repertoire reveals its pathogenic potential

Intra-species diversity of Clostridium perfringens: A diverse genetic repertoire reveals its pathogenic potential

Clostridium perfringens is the causative agent of many enterotoxic diseases in humans and animals, and it is present in diverse environments (soil, food, sewage, and water). Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST) and Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) have provided a general approach about genetic diversity o...
