Abstract

The aim of this study was to determinate the occurrence of Clostridium. The samples were from cities of Rio Grande do Sul state, between 1988 and 2007. During the analyzed period, Clostridium were isolates in 123 protocols. Clostridium perfringens were isolates in 61% of cases, 28.45% Clostridium chauvoei, 13.8% Clostridium septicum and 0.8% Clostridium sp. Botulinum toxin was detected in samples from intestinal contents and serum of 10 analyzed cases. The cases with clostridiuns isolates were related, mainly, enterotoxemia, gas gangrene, blackleg and botulism. Thus, this work demonstrated a significative clostridios occurrence. Is important the nationwide monitoring of clostridial, due mainly to strong economic impact that these diseases can trigger.
