Antidotal treatment of botulism in rats by continuous infusion with 3,4-diaminopyridine

Molecular Medicine, 2022
Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) are highly potent, select agent toxins that inhibit neurotransmitter release at motor nerve terminals, causing muscle paralysis and death by asphyxiation.

Mild Botulism From Illicitly Brewed Alcohol in a Large Prison Outbreak in Mississippi

Frontiers in Public Health, 2021
Botulism is typically described as a rapidly progressing, severe neuroparalytic disease. Foodborne botulism is transmitted through consuming food or drink that has been contaminated with botulinum toxin.

Genomic and Phenotypic Characterization of Clostridium botulinum Isolates from an Infant Botulism Case Suggests Adaptation Signatures to the Gut

mBio, 2022
While the clinical aspects of infant botulism and the mode of action of BoNT have been thoroughly investigated, little is known on the pathogenesis and adaptive mechanisms of C. botulinum in the gut.

Tracing Foodborne Botulism Events Caused by Clostridium botulinum in Xinjiang Province, China, Using a Core Genome Sequence Typing Scheme

Microbiology spectrum, 2022
In this study, we analyzed 59 foodborne botulism (FB)-related strains isolated in Xinjiang Province, China. Our findings not only reveal the group classification, neurotoxin locus organization, antibiotic resistance and virulence factors of these strains

Upper Extremity Muscle Weakness Following Axillary Botox Injection With Sterile Water Reconstitution: A Case Report. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT Severe, unexpected pain during botulinum toxin injection is a critical red flag for reconstitution error. Using sterile water instead of normal saline may cause atypical, wider‐spread effects like proximal muscle weakness, even at standard doses. Strict adherence to saline reconstitution is essential to prevent this complication.
