Clostridium perfringens type A occurs as a natural flora of _____________

  • A.stomach
  • B.mouth
  • C.intestine
  • D.eyes

Answer: C

Correct answer: intestine

C. perfringens type A is a normal inhabitant of the human and animal large intestine, and from there it reaches soil, dust and clothing. Because the source is endogenous as well as environmental, gas gangrene can follow an operation on the bowel or a compound fracture contaminated with the patient’s own faecal flora, and the same organism is the commonest cause of clostridial food poisoning.
