The aim of this study was to report two cases of Clostridium perfringens type A and Clostridium difficile co-infection in adult dogs. Both animals were positive for A/B toxin. Toxigenic C. difficile and C. perfringens type A positive for NetE and NetF-encoding genes were isolated. This report reinforces the necessity of studying a possible synergism of C. difficile and C. perfringens in enteric disorders.
本研究的目的是报告两例成年犬感染A型产气荚膜梭菌和艰难梭菌的病例。两只动物的A/B毒素检测均呈阳性。分离出了产毒素的艰难梭菌和A型产气荚膜梭菌,其NetE和NetF编码基因呈阳性。本报告强调了研究艰难梭菌和产气荚膜梭菌在肠道疾病中可能存在的协同作用的必要性。
