Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin (CPE) is the main virulence factor for C. perfringens type F strains to cause human gastrointestinal diseases, which can involve lethal enterotoxemia. During type F disease, CPE encounters an adherent mucus layer overlying the intestines, so the current study evaluated if NanI potentiates CPE activity in the presence of adherent mucus. CPE alone caused more cytotoxicity transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) and permeability to fluorescent dextran (FD) for minimal mucus-producing
