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.

Detecting Clostridium botulinum

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006
To the Editor: In the October 2005 issue of Emerging Infectious Diseases, Song et al. described a fiber-optic, microsphere-based, high-density array composed of 18 species-specific probe microsensors, used to identify biological warfare agents, including Clostridium botulinum (1). Although the researchers used multiple probes for C. botulinum, we doubt

Conflicting Clinical Presentation of Infection with Clostridium botulinum and Clostridium perfringens in a 5-Month-Old Infant [PDF]

Journal of Pediatrics: Clinical Practice
We present a 5-month-old infant with a 1-day history of poor feeding and sudden progression into generalized weakness including septic shock syndrome after consumption of homemade food. Botulism and sepsis symptoms could be explained by the presence of a

Identification and enumeration of Clostridium spp. In sufu [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2021
In this study, Clostridium spp. was counted in 49 Chinese commercial sufu samples, and 25 samples were detected Clostridium in all samples: the detection rate was 51.02%. About 93.87% of the samples contained Clostridium at low levels (log CFU/g＜3.0) and

Investigation of botulism in free-range ducks farming in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam

Open Veterinary Journal, 2022
Background: One of the most common diseases in free-range ducks in the Mekong Delta is "botulism". Botulism is a poultry disease caused by botulinum exotoxin of Clostridium botulinum.

Adult Intestinal Toxemia Botulism

Toxins, 2020
Intoxication with botulinum neurotoxin can occur through various routes. Foodborne botulism results after consumption of food in which botulinum neurotoxin-producing clostridia (i.e., Clostridium botulinum or strains of Clostridium butyricum type E or ...

Membrane Vesicles Derived From Clostridium botulinum and Related Clostridial Species Induce Innate Immune Responses via MyD88/TRIF Signaling in vitro

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Clostridium botulinum produces botulinum neurotoxin complexes that cause botulism. Previous studies elucidated the molecular pathogenesis of botulinum neurotoxin complexes; however, it currently remains unclear whether other components of the bacterium ...

Wound Botulism Caused by Botulinum Neurotoxin Type A in a Chronic Parenteral Drug Abuser

Case Reports in Neurology, 2020
Botulism is an acute paralytic disease caused by botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT)-mediated inhibition of neurosignaling at the neuromuscular junction. BoNTs are produced by gram positive, anaerobic, spore-forming bacteria from the genus Clostridium,most ...
