Abstract in Portuguese
Clostridium perfringens é um importante patógeno envolvido em doenças entéricas dos animais domésticos e quadros de toxinfecção alimentar em humanos. Embora as infecções causadas por C. perfringens biotipo C e A em suínos sejam amplamente estudadas, existem poucos relatos que descrevem as reais correlações genéticas existentes na cadeia epidemiologia das clostridioses para esta espécie animal, assim como a transmissão do agente através da fêmea lactante, e a eliminação e perpetuação do agente no momento do abate. O presente estudo teve como objetivo o isolamento e a caracterização genotípica através da eletroforese em gel de campo pulsado (PFGE) de cepas de C. perfringens isoladas a partir de fezes e de carcaças de suínos no momento do abate, fezes de fêmeas suínas e seus leitões e de amostras de farinha de carne e ossos. Foi ainda realizada a comparação dessas cepas com cepas isoladas a partir de leitões com enterite. A freqüência de isolamento do agente em carcaças, em fezes de leitões terminados e a partir de farinha de carne e osso foram, 44,2%, 52,5%, e 32,2% respectivamente. De acordo com a reação em cadeia pela polimerase (PCR) foram detectadas somente as toxinas alfa e beta 2, sendo esta ultima detectada somente nos casos de enterite. Por meio da PFGE as amostras foram caracterizadas em 97 perfis genéticos com um alto índice discriminatório. As amostras isoladas de carcaça apresentaram alta similaridade em relação às de origem fecal, os isolados de farinha de carne apresentaram perfis similares aos obtidos em isolados de fezes de fêmeas, leitões sadios e leitões com enterite. E os isolados de leitões com e sem enterite apresentaram baixa similaridade em relação aos isolados de fêmeas.

Abstract in English
Clostridium perfringens is an important enteric disease pathogen of domestic animals and foodborne diseases of human beings. Although infections caused by C. Perfringens type C and A in swine are well studied, just few reports describe genetic relationship among strains in the epidemiological chain of Swine Clostridioses, as well as the transmission of the microorganism by the nursing female its elimination and maintenance at slaughterhouses. The aim of the present study was the isolation and genotypic characterization by Pulsed-Field gel eletrophoresis (PFGE), of C. Perfringens strains from feces and carcasses from at slaughterhouse pigs, feces from sows and their piglets, and samples of meat and bone meal. The microorganism isolation frequencies in carcasses, finishing pig feces, and meat and bone meal were 44.2%, 52.5%, 32.2%, respectively. According to Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) assay, only the alfa and beta 2 toxins were detected; whereas beta 2 toxin was detected barely in cases of enteritis. By means of the PFGE assay techinique the samples were characterized in 97 genetic profiles with a high discriminatory level. Strains from carcasses samples presented high similarity to strains from fecal origin. strains from meat and bone meal samples showed similar profiles to strains from sow feces samples; of sows, assimptomatic piglets and piglets with enteritis. And strains isolated from piglets (assimptomatic and with enteritis) presented low similarity to strains from sow feces samples.
