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.

Conjugative Botulinum Neurotoxin-Encoding Plasmids in Clostridium botulinum [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Clostridium botulinum produces seven distinct serotypes of botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs). The genes encoding different subtype neurotoxins of serotypes A, B, F and several dual neurotoxin-producing strains have been shown to reside on plasmids ...

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

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

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 ...

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 ...
