Abstract

Clostridium perfringens type A suspended in fresh medium was injected into ligated intestinal loops of lambs. Within 7 hr after inoculation, the fluid volume of the loops increased up to seven times. No significant accumulation of fluid occurred in loops receiving grown culture, culture supernatant fluid, or medium alone. alpha-Antitoxin injected along with C. perfringens in fresh medium into intestinal loops did not prevent the accumulation of fluid. It is concluded that alpha-toxin plays no major role in C. perfringens type A enteritis.
