Protein Truncating Variants of colA in Clostridium perfringens Type G Strains
...Published in Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
Extracellular matrix (ECM) degrading enzymes produced by Clostridium perfringens may play an important role during the initial phases of avian necrotic enteritis by facilitating toxin entry in the intestinal mucosa and destruction of the tissue. C. perfringens is known to produce several ECM-degrading proteases, such as kappa toxin, an extracellula...
