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 ...

Pan-Genomic Analysis of Clostridium botulinum Group II (Non-Proteolytic C. botulinum) Associated with Foodborne Botulism and Isolated from the Environment

Toxins, 2020
The neurotoxin formed by Clostridium botulinum Group II is a major cause of foodborne botulism, a deadly intoxication. This study aims to understand the genetic diversity and spread of C. botulinum Group II strains and their neurotoxin genes.

High prevalence of Clostridium botulinum in vegetarian sausages.

Food microbiology, 2020
Clostridium botulinum is a significant food safety concern due to its ability to produce highly potent neurotoxin and resistant endospores. Vegetarian sausages have become a popular source of plant protein and alternative for meat products.

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 ...

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.
