A pragmatic harm reduction approach to manage a large outbreak of wound botulism in people who inject drugs, Scotland 2015 [PDF]
, 2018 Background People who inject drugs (PWID) are at an increased risk of wound botulism, a potentially fatal acute paralytic illness. During the first 6 months of 2015, a large outbreak of wound botulism was confirmed among PWID in Scotland, which resulted ...

Toxins, 2021 Botulism is a rare, sometimes fatal paralytic illness caused by botulinum neurotoxins. BAT® (Botulism Antitoxin Heptavalent (A, B, C, D, E, F, G)—(Equine)) is an equine-derived heptavalent botulinum antitoxin indicated for the treatment of symptomatic ...

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1916 Much that has been written about botulism is not true and truths have been so distorted as to convey false impressions. This paper presents truths plainly and without bias. Two things are important—canned foods that show any signs of spoilage must be destroyed, so that neither animals nor man can eat them, and boiling “ready to serve” canned foods ...

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Equine Practice, 1997 Equine botulism is being recognized with increasing frequency by veterinarians throughout North America. Muscular weakness and dysphagia that progress during a period of 1 to 4 days, in the absence of laboratory derangements that indicate the presence of systemic disease, are suggestive of botulism.

THE DIFFICULTIES OF EARLY DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF BOTULISM
Архивъ внутренней медицины, 2019 The popularity of home canning contributes to a sufficiently high incidence of botulism worldwide. The canned products containing botulinum toxin do not change neither color, taste, nor smell of contents of canned food.

Botulism disguised as parotitis
IDCases, 2020 Botulism is an acute toxin-mediated neuroparalytic syndrome caused by some Clostridium species. It typically presents itself as an acute symmetric descending paralysis of cranial and peripheral nerves, which can potentially evolve to respiratory failure ...

Confirmation of botulism diagnosis in Australian bird samples by ELISA and RT rtPCR
Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation, 2021 We developed a sandwich ELISA that detects Clostridium botulinum C and D toxins and reverse-transcription real-time PCRs (RT-rtPCRs) that detect botulinum C and D toxin genes, respectively, to replace the mouse bioassay.

The binding of botulinum neurotoxins to different peripheral neurons [PDF]
, 2017 Botulinum neurotoxins are the most potent toxins known. The double receptor binding modality represents one of the most significant properties of botulinum neurotoxins and largely accounts for their incredible potency and lethality.

Exploring the genetic background of the botulism neurotoxin BoNT/B2 in Spain
Microbiology Spectrum, 2023 To determine whether the neurotoxin BoNT/B2 causing botulism in Spain is clonal, the genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships of Clostridium botulinum from food-borne episodes and infant cases of the condition were explored.
