10.30699/jambs.29.133.63 Background & Objective: Clostridium perfringens is an anaerobic bacterium, commonly present in retail foods. Its enterotoxin-producing ability, short generation time, ability to grow at elevated temperatures, and spore-forming ability allow C. perfringens to survive in food-processing temperatures, and cause foodborne illness. The aim of study was to screen dehydrated vegetables contaminated with Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin (CPE) and C. perfringens alpha-toxin (CPA).
