BIOCHEMICAL CONFIRMATORY TEST ON SUSPECTED ISOLATES OF CLOSTRIDIUM PERFRINGENS USING INDIRECT ACID PHOSPHATASE

Résumé

The effectiveness of indirect acid phosphatase of confirmatory identification of Clostridium perfringens (Bacteria) isolates from faecal samples of goats and sheep is described C. perfringens infections has not the isolates belonged to the desired species been much reported in the Nigerian animal husbandry systems, thus this method could help for easy identification of this disease. The results proved acid phosphatase, a quick, reliable, simple and accurate method for the biochemical confirmatory test for C.perfringens. This test proved same to the reference strains obtained for comparison.
