title: Clostridium perfringens strain OH-TH01 isolated from hippopotamus small intestine
organism: Clostridium perfringens
description: Clostridium perfringens strain OH-TH01 was isolated as the predominant beta-hemolytic anaerobe from the small intestinal contents of a zoo-housed adult hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius) found dead with pseudomembranous fibrinonecrotic and hemorrhagic enteritis in Jeonju, South Korea. The isolate was toxinotyped as type A (plc-positive only by multiplex PCR). This BioSample record supports deposition of raw Illumina paired-end whole-genome sequencing reads in the NCBI Sequence Read Archive (SRA).
