O Clostridium perfringens é um enteropatógeno amplamente distribuído na natureza e responsável por várias doenças nos animais, dentre elas a diarréia neonatal. Foram examinadas 141 amostras fecais de bezerros com diarréia e 129 amostras de animais sadios, com até 28 dias de idade e pertencentes a três rebanhos distintos. Do cultivo bacteriológico em anaerobiose foi possível isolar 36,2% e 30,2% amostras suspeitas de Clostridium perfringens dos animais enfermos e dos animais sadios, respectivamente. A genotipagem bacteriana foi efetuada empregando-se a técnica de PCR multiplex com os primers dos genes codificadores das toxinas alfa (cpa), beta (cpb), épsilon (etx), iota (itxA), enterotoxina (cpe) e toxina beta2 (cpb2). Dentre as amostras isoladas, 17/51 (33,3%) e 17/39 (43,6%) dos animais com diarréia e sadios, respectivamente, amplificaram um ou mais genes codificadores das toxinas de C. perfringens. Dos bezerros com diarréia, quatorze apresentaram somente o gene cpa (tipo A), um apresentou o cpa e cpb2 (tipo A beta2 positivo), um amplificou o cpa, itxA, e cpb2 (tipo E, beta2 positivo) e um amplificou o cpa, etx, itxA e cpb2 (tipo D e E, um ou ambos cpb2 positivo). Dentre os bezerros sadios, 10 eram exclusivamente tipo A, um era tipo A cpb2 positivo, dois eram tipo E, três eram tipo E cpb2 positivo e um era tipo D e E cpb2 positivo. Não houve correlação entre a genotipagem dos genes codificadores das toxinas de Clostridium perfringens e a presença de diarréia neonatal nos bezerros. / Neonatal diarrhea is one of the main causes of losses in cattle herds. Clostridium perfringens is a widespread enteropathogen, and is responsible for many animal diseases such as bovine neonatal diarrhea. Fecal samples from 141 diarrheic calves and 129 healthy calves, aged up to 28 days and belonging to three herds were examined. Rates of culture positivity were 36.2% and 30.2% for diarrheic and nondiarrheic calves, respectively. Multiple isolates from primary isolation plates were subjected to simultaneous genotyping by multiplex PCR, with primers amplifying fragments of alpha (cpa), beta (cpb), epsilon (etx), iota (itxA), enterotoxin (cpe) and beta2 (cpb2) toxinencoding genes. Only 17/51 (33.3%) and 17/39 (43.6%) of these mixtures from diarrheic and nondiarrheic calves, respectively, yielded genotype information, suggesting that this may not be a viable approach to genotyping of isolates. Fourteen isolate mixtures from animals with diarrhea had only cpa (type A), one had cpa and cpb2 (type A beta2 positive), one with cpa, itxA, and cpb2 (type E, beta2 positive), and one with cpa, etx, itxA, and cpb2 (Types D and E, one or both cpb2 positive). Among 17 isolate mixtures from healthy calves, 10 were exclusively type A, one was type A cpb2 positive, two were type E, three were type E cpb2 positive, and one was types D and E cpb2 positive. There was no correlation between isolation of a given toxin type and the presence of diarrhea.
