Crystal Structure of Clostridium botulinum Whole Hemagglutinin Reveals a Huge Triskelion-shaped Molecular Complex*

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2013
Background: Botulinum HA is a component of the botulinum neurotoxin complex and dramatically increases the oral toxicity of the complex. Results: The crystal structure of botulinum HA reveals that 12 subcomponents of HA constitute a huge triskelion ...

Spore Germination Apparatus in Clostridium botulinum Group I and II [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Spore germination is a significant step in the transformation of dormant spores into exponentially dividing vegetative cells, and in the case of Clostridium botulinum in the formation of the deadly botulinum neurotoxin.

The pathogenicity of the spores of Clostridium botulinum [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Hygiene, 1951
1. The injection of mice with botulinum spores, freed from all traces of superficial toxin, can cause death but only if a very large number is given. This number was found in the case of a highly toxic strain to be of the order of 20 million spores given intramuscularly. This dose was fatal in the absence of spore germination.2. In human botulism it is
