Beta toxin from C. perfringens type C is highly lethal to neonatal pigs and occurs worldwide in farmed pigs. Beta toxin is the principal disease causing toxin in C. perfringens type C infection, and causes necrotizing enteritis and enterocolitis.
Clostridial necrotizing enteritis (CNE) is a severe and potentially fatal type of food poisoning caused by a β-toxin of Clostridium perfringens, [1] Type C. It occurs in some developing regions, particularly in New Guinea, where it is known as pig-bel.
Research suggests that C. perfringens is capable of engaging in polymicrobial anaerobic infections. [44] Clostridium perfringens is a common cause of food poisoning in the United States. C. perfringens produces spores, and when these spores are consumed, they produce a toxin that causes diarrhea.
Clostridium perfringens Type C enteritis - Fatal disease in pigs. Infectious necrotic hepatitis - AKA black disease, mainly found in sheep and caused by Clostridium novyi. Malignant edema - Disease in various species caused by Clostridium septicum. Quail disease - AKA ulcerative enteritis, caused by Clostridium colinum.

Clostridium novyi is considered to be made up from three clades, labelled A, B and C, distinguished by the range of toxins they produce. [citation needed] While strains of type C were not linked to disease to laboratory animals, presence and activity of toxins in C. novyi have been linked to infection with Bacteriophages. [5]
