  1. Seven intestinal loop experiments were conducted. The number of intestinal loops that were injected per animal are shown.
  2. aJIR325: wild-type C. perfringens; JIR4107: alpha toxin-deficient; JIR4120: alpha toxin-deficient strain carrying the empty shuttle vector; JIR4121: alpha toxin-complemented strain; BHI: sterile bacterial growth medium.
