C. perfringens can be diagnosed by Nagler's Reaction where the organism is cultured on an egg yolk media plate. One side of the plate contains anti-alpha-toxin, while the other side does not. The suspect organism is placed on both sides. An area of turbidity will form around the side that does not have the anti-alpha-toxin,indicating that this is C. perfringens.
