“…Thus, Clostridium perfringens has been reported to cause necrotic enteritis (Parish, 1961) and has been isolated along with some aerobic bacteria from gangrenous dermatitis (Rosenberger et al, 1975;Cullen & Pattison, 1980;Milakovic-Novak et ah, 1984). Other reports of clostridial involvement in poultry diseases include C: perfringens type A (Al-Sheikhly & Truscott, 1977;Nillo, 1976), Clostridium novyi (Peterson, 1964), Clostridium sporogenes (Peterson, 1967), Clostridium septicum (Fowler & Hussaini, 1975) and Clostridium fallax (Ellwood & Halliwell, 1973).…”

A flock of 12,500 broilers 36 days of age experienced a sudden increase in mortality. Post-mortem lesions were emphysema, severe enteritis, and a serosanguineous fluid in the subcutaneous tissue of the breast and thighs; there was no evidence of a loss in the integrity of the skin. Clostridium perfringens and C. septicum were isolated from the affected subcutaneous tissue. Histopathological and serological examination indicated previous infection with infectious bursal disease virus. The subsequent immunosuppression and severe enteritis may have permitted the clostridia access to the circulatory system, with localization in the subcutaneous areas of the breast and thighs. Mortality returned to normal 48 hours after potassium penicillin G was administered via the drinking water.
