Proteolytic Processing and Activation of <named-content content-type="genus-species">Clostridium perfringens</named-content> Epsilon Toxin by Caprine Small Intestinal Contents
ABSTRACT Epsilon toxin (ETX), a pore-forming toxin produced by type B and D strains of Clostridium perfringens, mediates severe enterotoxemia in livestock and possibly plays a role in human disease. During enterotoxemia, the nearly inactive ETX prototoxin is produced in the intestines but then must...
