A Novel Surface Plasmon Resonance Biosensor for the Rapid Detection of Botulinum Neurotoxins
Biosensors, 2017 Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) are Category A agents on the NIAID (National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases) priority pathogen list owing to their extreme toxicity and the relative ease of production. These deadly toxins, in minute quantities

Genomics of Clostridium tetani [PDF]
Research in Microbiology, 2015 Genomic information about Clostridium tetani, the causative agent of the tetanus disease, is scarce. The genome of strain E88, a strain used in vaccine production, was sequenced about 10 years ago. One additional genome (strain 12124569) has recently been released. Here we report three new genomes of C.
