Popis: In ileal loop assay, ELISA and anion-exchange column chromatography, Clostridium sordellii strain 6018 was shown to produce a cytotoxin, but no detectable enterotoxin. DNA sequence and polymerase chain reaction analyses indicated that the lack of enterotoxin activity is not due to a lack of gene transcription, but to lack of a major portion of the enterotoxin gene. This is the first characterisation of such a strain.
