==== Alpha toxin ==== Alpha toxin (CPA) is a zinc-containing phospholipase C, composed of two structural domains, which destroy a cell's membrane. Alpha toxins are produced by all five types of ''C. perfringens.'' This toxin is linked to [[gas gangrene]] of humans and animals. Most cases of gas gangrene has been related to a deep wound being contaminated by soil that harbors ''C. perfringens''.<ref name="Stiles-20132" /><ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Li |first1=Ming |last2=Li |first2=Ning |date=2021-06-16 |title=Clostridium perfringens bloodstream infection secondary to acute pancreatitis: A case report |journal=World Journal of Clinical Cases |volume=9 |issue=17 |pages=4357β4364 |doi=10.12998/wjcc.v9.i17.4357 |issn=2307-8960 |pmc=8173429 |pmid=34141801 |doi-access=free}}</ref>
