dc.description.abstractA study was conducted to assess the prevalence of Clostridial infections of food animals with special reference to Clostridium difficile, an anaerobic, spore forming, rod shaped bacterium frm January2017to December 2018. Eighty nine (89) chevon and Seventy eight(78) mutton samples procured from meat retail outlets of Orathanadu region of Tamil Nadu were analyzed for the bacteriological examination of Clostridium species and the 52 isolates of each were subjected to Gram-staining, catalase test, API 20A sugar fermentation profiles and antibiotic sensitivity test (ABST)..The presence of C. difficile in chevon and mutton samples were identified by conventional bacteriological examination and Clostridium difficile was isolated in 23 out of 89 (29.2%) in chevon and 29 out of 78 (37.1%) mutton. The antibiotic sensitivity test was conducted and found that the isolates were susceptible to Cefotaxim (82.5%), Amoxicillin-clavulanic acid (81.3%), Ceftriaxone (79.3%) and Enrofloxacin (77.9%), whereas resistant to Gentamicin (87.0%),Tetracycline( 81.4%), Penicillin (72.5%) and Ciprofloxacin(73.5%). Keeping in mind the food safety, the presence of toxigenic C. difficile isolates in goat meat and sheep meat emphasizes the need for implementataion of screening of Clostridial organisms thereby safeguarding the human health as well as animal health.en_US
