Study of biological properties of epizootic isolates Clostridium perfringens isolated from cattle in livestock farms of the Republic of Belarus
Abstract
The cultural-morphological and pathogenic properties of epizootic isolates of C. perfringens isolated from different farms of the Republic of Belarus have been studied. Identification of clostridium species was carried out using a biochemical analyzer «Vitek 2», the toxinotype of epizootic isolates of C. perfringens was determined in PCR and using a neutralization reaction. All isolates of C. perfringens were assigned to serotype A and were characterized by weak pathogenic properties, the Dlm for white mice was 8–20. The results obtained indicate the dominant epizootic value of C. perfringens of serotype A in livestock farms of the Republic of Belarus.
