About: Clostridium perfringens   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

C. perfringens thrives in the absence of oxygen and can form spores which are difficult to destroy, but can be restored into living bacteria when conditions improve. C. perfringens is difficult to diagnose as it presents with many of the symptoms of similar diseases. However, it almost always responds to penicillin and antibiotics should be started any time the bacteria is suspected. Unlike botulism, which is a toxin produced by a closely related bacteria, C. perfringens itself does the damage to cells.
