Clostridium perfringens (Type B and C)
lambs- lamb dysentary
calves, pigs, foals- necrotizing enterocolitis
Clostridium perfringens (Type D)
Pulpy Kidney Disease, Overeating disease- changes in normal flora allows for bad bacterial overgrowth, transient bacteria of the gut

The staphylococci have three general groups of virulence factors: a) cell surface components, b) exotoxins, and c) exoenzymes. Provide an example of each, its activity (i.e., the property we can measure in the laboratory) and (or) the factor’s likely (or proposed) role in enhancing virulence if suspected.
Cell surface component: Protein A, antiphagocytic antigen on cell wall, immunological disguise

Exotoxin: Alpha-toxin - causes hemolysis, lethal when injected IV into rabbits

Exoenzyme: Coagulase - converts fibrinogen to fibrin, clots plasma impedes phagocyte migration
