The review presents modern data on the genetics and etiopathogenetic features of Clostridium perfringens toxins, including the role of Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin, in the development of food poisoning and a number of intestinal diseases in humans, animals and birds.

В обзоре представлены современные сведения о генетике и этиопатогенетических особенностях токсинов и ферментов Clostridium рerfringens, в том числе о роли энтеротоксина Clostridium рerfringens в развитии пищевого отравления и ряда кишечных заболеваний людей, животных и птиц.
