Abstract

Clostridium perfringens has been associated with necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) which is a serious disease of neonates. Our study describes the novel use of selective tryptose sulfite cycloserine with egg yolk agar (TSC-EYA) during a nursery outbreak. This medium provides a rapid, sensitive and accurate presumptive identification of C. perfringens.
