The culture supernatant fluids (CSFs) of 12 strains of Clostridium perfringens types A, B, C, and D stimulated sporulation of test strains NCTC 8238 and NCTC 8449 of this organism. The sporulation-promoting ability was present in vegetative and sporulating CSFs of both enterotoxin-positive (Ent+) and Ent- strains. The sporulation factor possessed a molecular weight between 1,000 and 5,000 and was heat and acid stable. This study suggests a potential role for Ent- strains in food-borne disease outbreaks caused by Ent+ strains of C. perfringens type A.
12株A型、B型、C型和D型产气荚膜梭菌的培养上清液(CSF)刺激了该菌测试菌株NCTC 8238和NCTC 8449的芽孢形成。促芽孢形成能力存在于产肠毒素阳性(Ent+)和Ent-菌株的营养型和芽孢形成型CSF中。芽孢形成因子的分子量在1000至5000之间,且对热和酸稳定。本研究表明Ent-菌株在由A型产气荚膜梭菌Ent+菌株引起的食源性疾病暴发中可能发挥作用。
