  • Title: Clostridium perfringens in retail chicken.
    Author: Nowell VJ, Poppe C, Parreira VR, Jiang YF, Reid-Smith R, Prescott JF.
    Journal: Anaerobe; 2010 Jun; 16(3):314-5. PubMed ID: 19961943.
    Abstract:
    Clostridium perfringens isolates were recovered by enrichment from retail grocery chicken samples (n = 88) in Ontario, Canada, with one sample per site. The gene associated with necrotic enteritis in chickens, netB, was found in 21% of the isolates. The tpeL gene was found in 2% and the cpb2 gene in 68% (95% "atypical" genes) of isolates. This study suggests that netB-positive C. perfringens can reach people through retail chicken.
