Clostridium botulinum and Clostridium perfringens Occurrence in Kazakh Honey Samples

Toxins, 2019
The aim of this study was to assess occurrence of Clostridium botulinum and Clostridium perfringens in honey samples from Kazakhstan. Analyses were carried out using a set of PCR methods for identification of anaerobic bacteria, and detection of toxin ...

Diversity of the Genomes and Neurotoxins of Strains of Clostridium botulinum Group I and Clostridium sporogenes Associated with Foodborne, Infant and Wound Botulism

Toxins, 2020
Clostridium botulinum Group I and Clostridium sporogenes are closely related bacteria responsible for foodborne, infant and wound botulism. A comparative genomic study with 556 highly diverse strains of C. botulinum Group I and C.

Arrangement of the Clostridium baratii F7 toxin gene cluster with identification of a σ factor that recognizes the botulinum toxin gene cluster promoters.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) is the most poisonous substances known and its eight toxin types (A to H) are distinguished by the inability of polyclonal antibodies that neutralize one toxin type to neutralize any of the other seven toxin types.

How Can We Personalize the Delivery of Onabotulinumtoxin‐A for Patients With Neurogenic Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction?

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background & Aims Neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) can produce bothersome urinary symptoms, impact quality of life, and in some cases, lead to deterioration of upper urinary tract function. Intradetrusor injection of onabotulinumtoxin‐A (BoNT‐A) is approved for NLUTD in patients who have an inadequate response to or ...

Neonatal immune response of Brazilian beef cattle to vaccination with Clostridium botulinum toxoids types C and D by indirect ELISA

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2010
Types C and D strains of Clostridium botulinum are commonly related to avian and mammalian botulism. Although there are numerous vaccine recommendations, little research has been conducted to indicate the real effectiveness of vaccine timing or the ideal

Construction of an O2‐responsive engineering bioreactor for enhanced indole‐3‐propionic acid production and deoxynivalenol detoxification

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
An oxygen‐responsive living bioreactor was engineered via interspecies protoplast fusion, converting oxygen from an inhibitory stress into a programmable signal for sustained indole‐3‐propionic acid (IPA) production. This genetically encoded bioreactor enables robust aerobic operation and therapeutic efficacy of deoxynivalenol detoxification in vivo ...

Review Article: The Impact of the Gut Microbiome on Ulcerative Colitis Pharmacotherapy

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome modulates ulcerative colitis pharmacotherapy through microbial drug metabolism, immune regulation and altered drug bioavailability. Microbial composition influences response to aminosalicylates, corticosteroids, immunomodulators, biologics and small molecules, while microbiome‐targeted therapies show emerging promise.

Tetanus: Pathophysiology, Treatment, and the Possibility of Using Botulinum Toxin against Tetanus-Induced Rigidity and Spasms

Toxins, 2013
Tetanus toxin, the product of Clostridium tetani, is the cause of tetanus symptoms. Tetanus toxin is taken up into terminals of lower motor neurons and transported axonally to the spinal cord and/or brainstem. Here the toxin moves trans-synaptically into

Targeted liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry profiling of arginine and histidine derivatives in chronic migraine: Discriminatory performance and changes after onabotulinumtoxinA therapy

Headache: The Journal of Head and Face Pain, EarlyView.
Plain Language Summary People with chronic migraine may have changes in amino‐acid metabolism, but it remains unclear which metabolic pathways are associated with the disease and early response to onabotulinumtoxinA treatment. We measured plasma amino‐acid levels in patients with chronic migraine and healthy controls and assessed changes after 1 month ...
