Cell proliferation and alpha-toxin gene expression of Clostridium perfringens in relation to the development of necrotic enteritis (NE) were investigated. Unlike bacitracin-treated chickens, non-bacitracin-treated birds exhibited typical NE symptoms and reduced growth performance. They also demonstrated increased C. perfringens proliferation and alpha-toxin gene expression that were positively correlated and progressed according to the regression model y = b(0) + b(1)X - b(2)X(2). The average C. perfringens count of 5 log(10) CFU/g in the ileal digesta appears to be a threshold for developing NE with a lesion score of 2.
研究了产气荚膜梭菌的细胞增殖和α-毒素基因表达与坏死性肠炎(NE)发展的关系。与杆菌肽处理的鸡不同,未用杆菌肽处理的鸡表现出典型的NE症状,生长性能下降。它们还表现出产气荚膜梭菌增殖增加和α-毒素基因表达增加,二者呈正相关,并根据回归模型y = b(0) + b(1)X - b(2)X(2)发展。回肠食糜中产气荚膜梭菌平均计数为5 log(10) CFU/g似乎是病变评分为2的NE发生的阈值。
