Abstract

Background: Alpha, beta and epsilon toxins of Clostridium perfringens toxinotype B are the major potent toxins involved in pulpy kidney disease. To combat it, proper vaccination of animals is required with an effective vaccine.
Objective: The research study was planned to document the effect of Syzygium cumini extract on resistant bacteria and in-vitro toxin production potential of Clostridium perfringens toxinotype B under the influence of various physicochemical parameter.
Materials and method: C. perfringens isolates were characterized on the basis of biochemical tests, toxinotyping and 16S rRNA typing. C. perfringens toxinotype B indigenously characterized isolates were subjected to antibiotic susceptibility profiling through Kirby-Bauer method. Against resistant isolates (n=06), S. cumini leaves ethanolic extract’s antibacterial activity was evaluated through well diffusion assay and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined. C. perfringens type B isolates subjected to toxins production optimization under physicochemical parameter.
Results: Isolates were identified as toxinotype B. Maximum zone of inhibition (ZOI) of 21.63±0.80 mm and MIC value of 7.18±5.13mg/mL was recorded for S. cumini leaves ethanolic extract. Isolates MW551887.1 and MW332247.1 produced higher hemolytic and cytotoxic units of toxins (alpha, beta and epsilon) at 0.2% glucose concentration after 24 hours at 37ºC, respectively.
Conclusion: These isolates could be used at industrial level for higher toxins production under optimized physicochemical parameters for vaccine production. Alpha, beta and epsilon toxins of C. perfringens toxinotype B are involved in causing pulpy kidney disease. To combat disease, control of antibiotic resistance and proper vaccination of animals is crucial.
