The First Identification and Antibiogram of <i>Clostridium perfringens</i> Type C Isolated from Soil and The Feces of Dead Foals in South Korea

<i>Clostridium (C.) perfringens</i> was isolated from 25 (11.1%) of 225 sampled horses and from 16 (35.56%) of 45 farms. All of the samples were negative for <i>cpe,</i> <i>etx</i>, <i>itx, NetF</i> genes and <i>cpa</i> <i>gene</i&...
