Pathogenicity and virulence of Clostridium botulinum. [PDF]

Virulence, 2023
Clostridium botulinum, a polyphyletic Gram-positive taxon of bacteria, is classified purely by their ability to produce botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT). BoNT is the primary virulence factor and the causative agent of botulism.

Physical Treatments to Control Clostridium botulinum Hazards in Food. [PDF]

Foods, 2023
Clostridium botulinum produces Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs), causing a rare but potentially deadly type of food poisoning called foodborne botulism. This review aims to provide information on the bacterium, spores, toxins, and botulisms, and describe ...

Septic shock due to Clostridium botulinum: a case report [PDF]

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2023
Background Clostridium botulinum is an anaerobic, Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium that forms spores and the neurotoxin botulinum. It is best known for its toxin-induced flaccid paralytic disease, which is deadly without correct treatment.

Preventing Foodborne Illness: Clostridium botulinum

EDIS, 2005
Botulism is caused by the nerve toxins produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, often resulting in a serious paralytic condition that can lead to death.

Infant Botulism: In Search of Clostridium botulinum Spores. [PDF]

Curr Microbiol
Infant botulism is now the most common form of human botulism in Canada and the United States. Infant botulism is a severe neuroparalytic disease caused by ingestion of the spore-forming neurotoxic clostridia, including Clostridium botulinum that ...

Regulatory Networks Controlling Neurotoxin Synthesis in Clostridium botulinum and Clostridium tetani. [PDF]

Toxins (Basel), 2022
Clostridium botulinum and Clostridium tetani are Gram-positive, spore-forming, and anaerobic bacteria that produce the most potent neurotoxins, botulinum toxin (BoNT) and tetanus toxin (TeNT), responsible for flaccid and spastic paralysis, respectively ...

Clostridium botulinum and Clostridium perfringens Occurrence in Kazakh Honey Samples

Toxins, 2019
The aim of this study was to assess occurrence of Clostridium botulinum and Clostridium perfringens in honey samples from Kazakhstan. Analyses were carried out using a set of PCR methods for identification of anaerobic bacteria, and detection of toxin ...

Diversity of the Genomes and Neurotoxins of Strains of Clostridium botulinum Group I and Clostridium sporogenes Associated with Foodborne, Infant and Wound Botulism

Toxins, 2020
Clostridium botulinum Group I and Clostridium sporogenes are closely related bacteria responsible for foodborne, infant and wound botulism. A comparative genomic study with 556 highly diverse strains of C. botulinum Group I and C.

Functional characterisation of germinant receptors in Clostridium botulinum and Clostridium sporogenes presents novel insights into spore germination systems. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2014
Clostridium botulinum is a dangerous pathogen that forms the highly potent botulinum toxin, which when ingested causes a deadly neuroparalytic disease. The closely related Clostridium sporogenes is occasionally pathogenic, frequently associated with food
