| isolation of clostridium perfringens type a from wild bharals (pseudois nayaur) following sudden death in tibet, china. | dozens of wild bharals died suddenly in tibet. necropsy showed severe congestion and hemorrhage in multiple organs, with large numbers of gram-positive bacilli. strains of clostridium perfringens type a were isolated from the different organs and the intestinal contents. the other possible pathogens were ruled out by pcr. | 2017 | 28082244 |
| metataxonomics reveal vultures as a reservoir for clostridium perfringens. | the old world vulture may carry and spread pathogens for emerging infections since they feed on the carcasses of dead animals and participate in the sky burials of humans, some of whom have died from communicable diseases. therefore, we studied the precise fecal microbiome of the old world vulture with metataxonomics, integrating the high-throughput sequencing of almost full-length small subunit ribosomal rna (16s rrna) gene amplicons in tandem with the operational phylogenetic unit (opu) analys ... | 2017 | 28223683 |
