Abstract

|
Forty Clostridium perfringens isolates were obtained from twelve animal products, following the examination of eighty six beef, pork, broiler chicken and salami meat products, and eleven milk powder products. There were 21 isolates from salami stored at , 3 isolates from pork, 4 isolates from beef, 9 isolates from broiler chicken, and 3 isolates from milk powder. Only the cpa gene encoding a toxin among the 5 toxin genes tested (cpa, cpb, etx, iap, and cpe) was detected in all forty isolates, suggesting contamination with C. perfringens type A. DNA fingerprinting analysis using PCR of the tRNA intergenic spacer (tDNA-PCR) and the 16S-23S internal transcribed spacer (ITS-PCR), and randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis were attempted to differentiate the isolates. RAPD analysis was the most discriminating method among the three PCR analyses. Isolates from the same products tended to show similar RAPD patterns. Antimicrobial susceptibility tests showed that some isolates from broiler chickens had the same antibiogram with multiple resistance to streptomycin, colistin, and ciprofloxacin. Antibiograms were similar between isolates from the same livestock products, but differed considerably between the products.
