RESUMO
Clostridium perfringens type A suspended in fresh medium was injected into ligated intestinal loops of lambs. Within 7 hr after inoculation, the fluid volume of the loops increased up to seven times. No significant accumulation of fluid occurred in loops receiving grown culture, culture supernatant fluid, or medium alone. α-Antitoxin injected along with C. perfringens in fresh medium into intestinal loops did not prevent the accumulation of fluid. It is concluded that α-toxin plays no major role in C. perfringens type A enteritis.
