High pressure thermal inactivation of Clostridium botulinum type E endospores – kinetic modeling and mechanistic insights [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Cold-tolerant, neurotoxigenic, endospore forming Clostridium (C.) botulinum type E belongs to the non-proteolytic physiological C. botulinum group II, is primarily associated with aquatic environments, and presents a safety risk for seafood.

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

Clostridium botulinum strain Af84 contains three neurotoxin gene clusters: bont/A2, bont/F4 and bont/F5.

PLoS ONE, 2013
Sanger and shotgun sequencing of Clostridium botulinum strain Af84 type Af and its botulinum neurotoxin gene (bont) clusters identified the presence of three bont gene clusters rather than the expected two. The three toxin gene clusters consisted of bont

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

Current status and future directions of botulinum neurotoxins for targeting pain processing. [PDF]

, 2015
Current evidence suggests that botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) A1 and B1, given locally into peripheral tissues such as skin, muscles, and joints, alter nociceptive processing otherwise initiated by inflammation or nerve injury in animal models and humans.
