The Effect of Proteolytic Enzymes on the Activation of Cl. Perfringens Prototoxin, Types D and E (Deistvie Proteoliticheskikh Fermentov na Aktivatsiyu Prototoksinov Cl. Perfringens Tipov D i E),
Abstract
A study was made of the action of microbial and fungal proteolytic enzymes on the activation of Cl. perfringens D and E of specified strains. An activating effect of the fungus in microbial proteolytic enzymes on the D and E prototoxins was revealed. The results indicated that in gas gangrene caused by Cl. perfringens D and E a possible non-specific activation of prototoxins of specified bacteria and aggravation of the infectious process may occur.
