Abstract: According to the gene sequences in GenBank of alpha-toxin,one pair of specific primer was designed for amplifying the specific fragments of alpha-toxin gene. After optimization of annealing temperature and primers concentrations,PCR assay was established for simultaneous detection of the Clostridium perfringens. The specific bands of 255 bp was amplified.The sensitivity and specificity tests showed that the PCR were sensitive in 0.39,0.62,0.52,0.87,0.92 ng/L A,B,C,D,EC.perfringens. No band was amplified from Escherichia coli,Streptococcus,Staphyloccocus aureus and Pasteurella multocida. 54 clinical samples were detected by PCR.The results revealed that the established PCR assay was sensitive,specific and reproducible and it could be used to detect rapidly Clostridium perfringens isolated from sheep.

Key words: Clostridium perfringens isolated from sheep; alpha-toxin gene; rapid diagnosis
