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

Complete high-quality genome sequence of Clostridium limosum (Hathewaya limosa) isolate 14S0207, recovered from a cow with suspected blackleg in Germany [PDF]

, 2020
Clostridium limosum can be found in soil and the intestinal tract of animals. In 2014, C. limosum was isolated from a suspected blackleg outbreak in cattle in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. We present a complete genome sequence of a C.

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 ...

Exploration of the Diversity of Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats-Cas Systems in Clostridium novyi sensu lato

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Classified as the genospecies Clostridium novyi sensu lato and distributed into four lineages (I–IV), Clostridium botulinum (group III), Clostridium novyi, and Clostridium haemolyticum are clostridial pathogens that cause animal diseases.

The binding of botulinum neurotoxins to different peripheral neurons [PDF]

, 2017
Botulinum neurotoxins are the most potent toxins known. The double receptor binding modality represents one of the most significant properties of botulinum neurotoxins and largely accounts for their incredible potency and lethality.

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.

A pragmatic harm reduction approach to manage a large outbreak of wound botulism in people who inject drugs, Scotland 2015 [PDF]

, 2018
Background People who inject drugs (PWID) are at an increased risk of wound botulism, a potentially fatal acute paralytic illness. During the first 6 months of 2015, a large outbreak of wound botulism was confirmed among PWID in Scotland, which resulted ...

Distribution of Clostridium botulinum [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1980
The distribution of Clostridium botulinum in the natural environments of Denmark, The Faroe Islands, Iceland, Greenland, and Bangladesh was examined. A total of 684 samples were tested. Type E was found in 90% of samples from the aquatic environment of Denmark, including sediments from young artificial lakes, and in 86% of samples from the marine ...

A survey of traditional Iranian food products for contamination with toxigenic Clostridium botulinum

Journal of Infection and Public Health, 2009
Summary: This study aimed to determine the rate of Clostridium botulinum contamination in some traditional Iranian food products (cheese, kashk and salted fish) and evaluate the efficacy of the mouse bioassay method in detection of C. botulinum toxins in
