EXOone Clostridium septicum

Description

Clostridium septicum is an anaerobic Gram-positive bacterium widely distributed in soil and the gastrointestinal tract of animals, acting as an opportunistic pathogen under favorable conditions.
It is associated with severe infections such as malignant edema and enterotoxemia, characterized by rapid tissue necrosis, toxemia and high mortality. These diseases can cause significant economic losses in livestock due to sudden outbreaks and rapid progression.
Conventional detection based on culture may be limited by anaerobic growth requirements and rapid disease evolution. Real-time PCR enables rapid, sensitive and specific detection of C. septicum DNA directly from clinical samples, supporting analytical detection and monitoring.
