  • Title: Enterotoxigenic Clostridium perfringens type A necrotic enteritis in a foal.
    Author: Bueschel D, Walker R, Woods L, Kokai-Kun J, McClane B, Songer JG.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1998 Nov 01; 213(9):1305-7, 1280. PubMed ID: 9810388.
    Abstract:
    A Thoroughbred-Quarter Horse crossbred foal developed hemorrhagic enteritis and died < 48 hours after birth. Gross and histologic findings were suggestive of Clostridium perfringens type C infection, and large numbers of C perfringens were isolated from intestinal contents. However, genotyping of isolates indicated that they were enterotoxigenic C perfringens type A, and isolates were found to produce C perfringens enterotoxin in vitro. This case suggests that enterotoxigenic C perfringens type A may cause enteric disease in horses.
