Detection of a streptogramin A O-acetyltransferase gene (vatD) in the chromosome of Clostridium botulinum isolated from infants in the United States

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
Infant botulism, the most common form of botulism in the United States, occurs when botulinum toxin-producing clostridia colonize the infant’s gut and produce botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT).

Effects of guanidine on synaptic transmission in the spinal cord of the frog [PDF]

, 1977
The effects of guanidine on motoneurons of the isolated frog spinal cord were studied by adding the drug to the solution bathing the cord during intracellular recording. Guanidine (5·10–4 M) did not alter the membrane potential of motoneurons.

Structural Insights into Rational Design of Single-Domain Antibody-Based Antitoxins against Botulinum Neurotoxins. [PDF]

, 2020
Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) is one of the most acutely lethal toxins known to humans, and effective treatment for BoNT intoxication is urgently needed. Single-domain antibodies (VHH) have been examined as a countermeasure for BoNT because of their high ...
