IntroductionVarious systemic and enteric diseases have been attributed to C. perfringens, including healthcare-associated infections and intoxications. Humans and animals are thus exposed to serious health risks from these bacteria. Infections caused by these antibiotic-resistant bacteria are becoming an increasing concern. Bacteriophages (phages), which possess specific lytic activity, offer a viable alternative for the treatment of Clostridium perfringens.MethodsIn this study, a novel lytic C.
