Snake and spider toxins induce a rapid recovery of function of botulinum neurotoxin paralysed neuromuscular junction [PDF]

, 2015
Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) and some animal neurotoxins (-Bungarotoxin, -Btx, from elapid snakes and -Latrotoxin, -Ltx, from black widow spiders) are pre-synaptic neurotoxins that paralyse motor axon terminals with similar clinical outcomes in patients.

Cauda equina nerve root enhancement in adult intestinal toxemia botulism [PDF]

BMC Neurology
Background Adult botulism is a rare, life-threatening condition typically caused by exposure to preformed botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT). Acute intestinal toxemia botulism (AITB) is an uncommon subtype resulting from colonization of Clostridium botulinum in

Foodborne Botulism Caused by Clostridium botulinum Subtype A5(b3) by Self-Packaged Vacuum Spicy Rabbit Heads [PDF]

Microorganisms
Botulism is a severe muscle paralysis disease mediated by the botulinum toxin. Here, we reported a foodborne botulism case caused by Clostridium botulinum subtype A5(b3) from self-packaged vacuum spicy rabbit heads.

Aminopyridines Restore Ventilation and Reverse Respiratory Acidosis at Late Stages of Botulism in Mice

Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, 2023
Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) is a potent protein toxin that causes muscle paralysis and death by asphyxiation. Treatments for symptomatic botulism are intubation and supportive care until respiratory function recovers. Aminopyridines have recently emerged
