• Background: Clostridium perfringens is an anaerobic, Gram positive bacterium widely found in soil and the intestinal tract of vertebrates. It is responsible for three clinical syndromes, including gas gangrene, enteritis necroticans (pig-bel), and food poisoning. At least 12 toxins are produced by C. perfringens, including 4 lethal toxins, hemolysins, proteases, neuraminidase, and enterotoxin. The ability of individual strains to produce the 4 lethal toxins forms the basis for a classifications scheme that divides the species into five types; A to E.
  Clostridium perfringens beta toxin is one of the lethal toxins of Clostridium perfringens. It shares sequence homology with the pore-forming Staphylococcus aureus Alpha-toxin, Staphylococcus aureus Gamma-toxin, and Staphylococcus aureus leukocidin.
