Detection of the etx gene (ϵ-toxin inducer) in plasmids of high molecular weight in Clostridium perfringens type D

The purpose of this work is to correlate the production of ϵ-toxin in a set of strains of Clostridium perfringens type D with the presence of the etx gene, either genomic or in plasmids. Total DNA obtained from strains with a different level of toxin production was explored by PCR and all the strain...
