Genomic Characterization of Strains From a Cluster of Infant Botulism Type A in a Small Town in Colorado, United States

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Three cases of infant botulism were reported in a small Colorado town between 1981 and 1984. The first two cases occurred in 1981, 6 months apart, and the third case occurred in 1984. Clostridium botulinum type A was isolated from stool of all three case

Clostridium botulinum Spores Found in Honey from Small Apiaries in Poland

Journal of Apicultural Science, 2016
A total of 102 honey samples collected from small apiaries (≤ 20 hives) in Poland were analysed for the presence of Clostridium botulinum spores. The samples were prepared using the dilution centrifugation method and cultured in parallel in cooked meat ...

Ultrasonography for Assessment and Intervention With Botulinum Toxin Injection for Tremors [PDF]

Annals of Rehabilitation Medicine
Objective Tremors are caused by contractions of reciprocally innervated muscles. The role of ultrasound in diagnosing tremors has not yet been investigated, although it appears to be promising because it can visualize muscle movements.

Clostridium botulinum Type B Isolated From a Wound Botulism Case Due to Injection Drug Use Resembles Other Local Strains Originating From Hawaii

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Clostridium botulinum produces botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT), which can lead to death if untreated. In the United States, over 90% of wound botulism cases are associated with injection drug use of black tar heroin.

Endogenous CRISPR-Cas Systems in Group I Clostridium botulinum and Clostridium sporogenes Do Not Directly Target the Botulinum Neurotoxin Gene Cluster

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Most strains of proteolytic group I Clostridium botulinum (G1 C. botulinum) and some strains of Clostridium sporogenes possess genes encoding botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT), a potent neuroparalytic agent. Within G1 C. botulinum, conserved bont gene clusters

Producing positive control materials for template in PCR testing to detect botulinum neurotoxin types A and B genes

Tạp chí Kiểm nghiệm và An toàn thực phẩm
Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum and some other bacterial strains such as C. butyricum and C. baratii. It is considered the strongest toxin known to humans and can cause botulism.
