Clostridium perfringens is an important pathogen known to cause critical clinical disease. C . perfringens type A strains produces two types of toxins which is alpha-toxin and endotoxin. They have different attachment, internalization mechanisms and structures that lead them to diverse functions and several diseases. Alpha-toxin is a protein produces by the bacteria and cause gas gangrene once it invades the cell bilayer membrane’s fluidity. However, endotoxin cause Gastrointestinal (GI) Disease by rapid pores creating, invasion of the toxin to multiple receptors in intestine lumen, tight junction disruption. Although there are similarities in general molecular structure for both toxins, they obtain unique differentiae in the active domains. However, alpha-toxin and endotoxin have endogenous phospholipase C (PLC) and C-terminal domain that responsible for the virulence biological activities respectively. Despite that low dose of the endotoxins leads to apoptosis and high dose leads to oncosis, the endotoxin has been used now in clinical purposes such as cancer therapy and vaccination. Additionally , C. perfringens is not only foodborne human diseases but also non-foodborne disease since it has been founded in soil, water and animal’s gut. Food poising can be prevented successfully through rapid cooking from 55 to 15°C within 90 minutes and store in refrigerator/freezer temperatures. This paper will illustrate the mode of action of both toxins and how they lead to cause illness.
