| feline infectious enteritis | A highly contagious and fatal disease of cats, particularly young cats, caused by feline panleukopenia virus, a member of the family Parvoviridae, and manifested by severe leukopenia, prostration, fever, vomiting and diarrhoea. Synonym: distemper, feline agranulocytosis, feline distemper, feline infectious enteritis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Clostridium | <bacteria> Genus of gram-positive anaerobic spore forming bacilli commonly found in soil. Many species produce exotoxins of great potency, the best known being clostridium botulinum and clostridium tetani. (15 Jan 1998) |
| Clostridium bifermentans | A species found in putrid meat and gaseous gangrene; also commonly found in soil, faeces, and sewage. Its pathogenicity varies from strain to strain. (05 Mar 2000) |
| clostridium botulinum | The aetiologic agent of botulism in man, wild ducks, and other waterfowl. It is also responsible for certain forms of forage poisoning in horses and cattle. The bacterium produces a powerful exotoxin that is resistant to proteolytic digestion. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Clostridium butyricum | A species which occurs in naturally soured milk, in naturally fermented starchy plant substances, and in soil; it is not pathogenic. It is the type species of the genus Clostridium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Clostridium cadaveris | A species found in a human cadaver and in the peritoneum of a rabbit; it is not pathogenic for guinea pigs or rabbits. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Clostridium carnis | A species found in a rabbit inoculated with soil; it is pathogenic for laboratory animals, in which an exotoxin produces oedema, necrosis, and death. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Clostridium chauvoei | A species which causes blackleg, black quarter, or symptomatic anthrax in cattle and other animals and which produces an exotoxin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Clostridium cochlearium | A species found in human war wounds and septic infections; it is not pathogenic for guinea pigs. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Clostridium colinum | A species causing ulcerative enteritis in quail and chickens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Clostridium fallax | A species found in war wounds, appendicitis, and black leg of sheep; it produces a weak exotoxin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Clostridium haemolyticum | A species found in cattle dying of icterohemoglobinuria; it is pathogenic and toxic for guinea pigs and rabbits and produces an unstable, haemolytic toxin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Clostridium histolyticum | A species found in war wounds, where it induces necrosis of tissue; it produces a cytolytic exotoxin that causes local necrosis and sloughing on injection; it is not toxic on feeding; it is pathogenic for small laboratory animals. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Clostridium histolyticum collagenase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of collagen, preferentially at peptide bonds on the amino side of a glycylprolyl sequence. Synonym: clostridiopeptidase A, collagenase A, collagenase I. (05 Mar 2000) |
