| ulcerative enteritis--clostridial antigens. | the causative agent of ulcerative enteritis (ue) is a clostridium and it is believed that it belongs to a new, hitherto undescribed species. it has been named, tentatively, clostridium colinum. transmission experiments carried out with artificial cultures of this clostridium have clarified some aspects of the pathogenesis of ue and have brought into focus other aspects of its pathogenesis, epizootiology, and immunology that need to be investigated. support for research is needed: 1) to investiga ... | 1975 | 164804 |

| fluorescent antibody test in diagnosis of ulcerative enteritis. | a direct fluorescent antibody (fa) test to demonstrate the presence of clostridium colinum in cryostat sections of liver and intestine from chickens with ulcerative enteritis ("quail disease") was investigated. both field cases and experimentally infected birds were studied by fa, bacterial isolation of the clostridium, and histopathology. the fa test proved highly specific for cl. colinum. it was concluded that the described direct fa procedure offers simplicity and speed over bacterial isolati ... | 1976 | 786246 |
| ulcerative enteritis in broiler chickens caused by clostridium colinum and in vitro activity of 19 antimicrobial agents in tests on isolates. | ulcerative enteritis in broiler chickens occurred at five poultry farms in kagoshima prefecture, southern japan, in february and march, 1987. this is the first incidence of this disease reported for chickens in japan. the mortality rate was estimated to be 1 to 5%. ulcerative enteritis in the intestines, and necrosis in the liver and spleen, were observed mainly in autopsied broilers. identification involving tests of biochemical properties and production of metabolic endproducts using gas-liqui ... | 1988 | 3194335 |
| agglutinins to bacteria in crohn's disease. | sera from patients with crohn's disease were tested for antibodies against organisms which are thought to cause inflammatory bowel disease in animals, or have been implicated in human crohn's disease. control sera were collected from healthy individuals and patients with ulcerative colitis. sera from crohn's disease and controls failed to agglutinate clostridium colinum or campylobacter sputorum subsp. mucosalis and two strains of mycobacterium paratuberculosis (m26 and m27). most of the sera ag ... | 1980 | 7429299 |
| clostridial disease of the gut. | clostridia are an important cause of morbidity and mortality in humans and animals. some of the most common clostridial infections are those of the gut. the primary infections in humans are clostridium perfringens food poisoning and clostridium difficile-mediated antibiotic-associated diarrhea and colitis. less common but important infections include non-food poisoning c. perfringens nosocomial diarrhea and c. perfringens type c necrotizing jejunitis (pig-bel). c. perfringens is also the dominan ... | 1995 | 7548565 |
| ulcerative enteritis (quail disease) in lories. | ulcerative enteritis is found in a wide range of avian hosts but has not been described in psittacine birds. this case report describes ulcerative enteritis in four lories (two trichoglossus sp. and two eos sp.) that were found dead without any previous sign of disease. macroscopically, all four birds showed good body condition. the only remarkable finding was a moderate dilatation of the small intestine with the presence of multiple yellow foci. histologically, multiple ulcers extended into the ... | 2005 | 16405008 |
| development of a polymerase chain reaction assay for specific identification of clostridium colinum. | clostridium colinum is the causative agent of ulcerative enteritis, a serious disease of the bobwhite quail (colinus virginianus) and sporadically of young chickens. the aim of the present study was to develop a polymerase chain reaction (pcr) assay specific for c. colinum identification. the 16s rdna sequence of c. colinum was analysed and two species-specific primers were designed. the specificity of these primers was tested with closely related clostridium species and the expected amplified p ... | 2008 | 18393096 |
| an unusual clostridium colinum infection in broiler chickens. | an unusual syndrome has been observed during the past two years in flocks of 12- to 25-day-old broiler chickens in israel. the disease is characterized by enterotoxaemic-like signs including a high and sudden mortality, apathy, severe localized enteritis and nephrosis. c. colinum which is the causal agent of ulcerative enteritis has been the only bacteria consistently isolated from the affected chickens. the clinical and pathological findings in this syndrome are different from those reported fo ... | 1991 | 18680043 |
| a persistent outbreak of ulcerative enteritis in bobwhite quail (colinus virginianus). | ulcerative enteritis is a disease that typically responds well to medication. an outbreak of ulcerative enteritis that was persistent and unresponsive to treatment is described. the outbreak started in semimature birds and progressively spread to younger birds. confounding factors leading to this persistence were a significant coccidosis problem, a feed mixing error, and suspected antibiotic resistance. although clostridium colinum was never isolated, a bacitracin-resistant clostridium perfringe ... | 2008 | 18939648 |
| flock-level prevalence of clostridium colinum in broiler flocks with digestive disease in jordan by polymerase chain reaction. | a cross-sectional study was conducted from may to september of the year 2008 in broiler flocks in the southern and northern area of jordan, to determine the flock-level prevalence of clostridium colinum infection. intestinal swabs were collected from 170 broiler flocks and tested by pcr. among the study population, 20 flocks in both areas (11.8%, 95% confidence interval: 10 to 22%) were positive for c. colinum infection. the prevalence of positive intestinal samples in the southern and northern ... | 2009 | 19590079 |
