Abstract: The 18 strains of Clostridium perfringens separated from 12 suddenlydied dogs infected with C.perfringens were identified as type A and C by the biochemical tests and the toxin neutralization reaction. Six couples of the specialized primers corresponding respectively to α,β,ε,ι, CPE and β2 of toxin gene were designed and synthesized according to the genetic sequences and the published literatures. The purpose fragments amplified by the PCR are 233, 196, 324, 446, 567 and
665bp in length respectively. The developed PCR method can be used in bacterial identification and toxin differentiation, and was more rapid than the method for detection of bacteriotoxin.
