| clostridium perfringens outbreak associated with minestrone soup. | clostridium perfringens food poisoning usually occurs after animal protein foods such as meat or poultry are consumed. in november 1990, an outbreak of gastrointestinal illness occurred among attendees at a conference of cake decorators held in michigan. all 42 conference attendees were surveyed. thirty-two of 42 (76%) attendees reported gastrointestinal symptoms. the median incubation period was 6.5 hours (range, 1.5-15 hours). ill persons were almost five times more likely to have consumed min ... | 1992 | 1476151 |

| a common source outbreak of gastroenteritis in a teaching hospital. | an outbreak of gastroenteritis at a large teaching hospital affected at least 52 workers. investigation implicated a tuna salad, and the circumstances suggested clostridium perfringens as the etiologic agent. the risk of such outbreaks may be reduced by cooling of ingredients prior to mixing and refrigeration in small steel containers. | 1994 | 7983347 |
| survey of peafowl (pavo cristatus) for potential pathogens at three michigan zoos. | blood samples collected from 31 free-roaming peafowl from three zoos in michigan were tested serologically. antibody titers were present against avian adenovirus and bordetella avium in 19.3% and 61.3% of the samples, respectively. serum plate agglutination tests were positive for mycoplasma meleagridis and mycoplasma synoviae in 3.2% and 38.7% of the samples, respectively. all birds were seronegative for avian influenza, newcastle disease virus, west nile virus, mycoplasma gallisepticum, salmon ... | 2003 | 15077714 |
| freshwater suspended sediments and sewage are reservoirs for enterotoxin-positive clostridium perfringens. | the release of fecal pollution into surface waters may create environmental reservoirs of feces-derived microorganisms, including pathogens. clostridium perfringens is a commonly used fecal indicator that represents a human pathogen. the pathogenicity of this bacterium is associated with its expression of multiple toxins; however, the prevalence of c. perfringens with various toxin genes in aquatic environments is not well characterized. in this study, c. perfringens spores were used to measure ... | 2010 | 20581181 |
