Abstract in Portuguese
Clostridium perfringens causa enterite necrótica aviária devido à produção de toxinas que lesam o intestino. Neste estudo, de 94 amostras nove apresentaram C. perfringens, totalizando 22 isolados. Todos exceto um isolado, possuíram os genes nanI (95%) e/ou nanJ (81%), e 19/22, mostraram atividade neuraminidase em hemácias de frango. A atividade hemaglutinante foi observada em poucos isolados (26%). Todos os isolados foram plc positivos (toxina α), sendo classificados como tipo A. Sete isolados (31,8%) abrigaram o gene tpeL que codifica a toxina TpeL. Isolados tpeL+ mostraram efeito citotóxico característico da ação desta toxina. Alguns isolados mostraram capacidade de aderir e invadir células Vero. A maioria dos isolados foi resistente à sulfaquinoxalina (100%), cefalexina (95%) e eritromicina (95%) e sensíveis (100%) à cefoxitina, amoxicilina, enrofloxacina, amoxicilina-ácido clavulânico, penicilina-estreptomicina, cloranfenicol e metronidazol. Todos os isolados foram agrupados geneticamente em sete clusters, apresentando se como um grupo heterogêneo.

Abstract in English
Clostridium perfringens cause avian necrotic enteritis due to production of toxins that damage the intestine. In this study, nine out of 94 samples had C. perfringens, totaling 22 isolates. All the isolates with exception of one, possessed the genes nanI (95 %) and/or nanJ (81 %), and 19/22 showed neuraminidase activity in chicken erythrocytes. The hemagglutinating activity was observed in a few isolates (26 %). All isolates were plc positive (toxin α) being classified as type A. Seven isolates (31.8%) harbored tpeL gene encoding the toxin TpeL. TpeL + isolates showed characteristic cytotoxic effect of the action of this toxin. Some isolates showed ability to adhere and invade Hep-2 cells. Most of the isolates were resistant sulphaquinoxaline (100%), cephalexin (95%) and erythromycin (95%) and sensitivity (100%) to cefoxitin, amoxicillin, enrofloxacin, amoxicillin - clavulanic acid, penicillin -streptomycin, chloramphenicol and metronidazole. All isolates were genetically grouped into seven clusters, presenting itself as a heterogeneous group.
