Flashcards
Clostridium chauvoei
Clostridium chauvoei
An anaerobic bacteria species that causes blackleg, a disease characterized by gas gangrene in cattle and sheep.
Clostridium perfringens Type A
Clostridium perfringens Type A
An anaerobic bacteria species that is a common cause of gas gangrene and food poisoning. Type A is the most common type, producing alpha-toxin.
Clostridium piliforme
Clostridium piliforme
An anaerobic, spore-forming bacteria that causes Tyzzer's disease, primarily affecting rodents, rabbits, foals, and occasionally other animals. It causes liver and intestinal lesions, leading to diarrhea, dehydration, and death.
Fusobacterium necrophorum
