, 2022 Rod Clostridium čine sporogene, gram-pozitivne, anaerobne štapićaste bakterije. Pripadnici ovog roda imaju industrijski i medicinski značaj, obzirom da proizvode opasne toksine. Vrsta Clostridium botulinum široko je rasprostranjena, a proizvodi najotrovniji poznati toksin, botulinski neurotoksin, koji zbog jedinstvenih farmakoloških obilježja ima ...

Toxic megacolon: A rare presentation and novel treatment
JPGN Reports, EarlyView.Abstract A 14‐year‐old male presented with toxic megacolon (TM). Stool culture and rectal biopsies ruled out Clostridium difficile infection and Hirschsprung disease, respectively. Anorectal manometry ruled out anal achalasia as rectoanal inhibitory reflex elicited a normal resting pressure.

Review of published research on primary dysautonomia of domestic animals
Veterinary Record, EarlyView.Abstract An article published in 1992 by Marion M. Pollin and I.R. Griffiths reviewed the topic of primary dysautonomias of the autonomic nervous system of unidentified origin in multiple domestic species, specifically cats, dogs and horses. Thirty‐one years later, we appear no closer to identifying the causal agents of these strikingly similar ...

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Botulism is a severe and often fatal disease in equine patients worldwide. Clostridium botulinum is a ubiquitous soil organism which produces a potent neurotoxin resulting in neuromuscular blockade and flaccid paralysis in affected animals. Definitive diagnosis is often impractical or impossible, leading to diagnosis and treatment based on ...
