摘要：

Oligonucleotide probes designed on the basis of the N-terminal sequence of Clostridium perfringens beta-toxin were used to isolate the encoding gene (cpb). The nucleotide sequence of cpb was determined, and on the basis of DNA hybridization experiments it was shown that the gene is found only in type B and C strains of C. perfringens. The deduced amino acid sequence of the beta-toxin revealed homology with the alpha-toxin, gamma-toxin, and leukocidin of Staphylococcus aureus. The beta-toxin purified from C. perfringens appeared to exist in monomeric and multimeric forms. Recombinant beta-toxin, produced in Escherichia coli, appeared to be mainly in the multimeric form.
