CLOSTRIDIUM BOTULINUM [PDF]

, 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 ...

Cellular Entry of Clostridium perfringens Iota-Toxin and Clostridium botulinum C2 Toxin

Toxins, 2017
Clostridium perfringens iota-toxin and Clostridium botulinum C2 toxin are composed of two non-linked proteins, one being the enzymatic component and the other being the binding/translocation component. These latter components recognize specific receptors

Immunological Characterization and Neutralizing Ability of Monoclonal Antibodies Directed Against Botulinum Neurotoxin Type H. [PDF]

, 2016
BackgroundOnly Clostridium botulinum strain IBCA10-7060 produces the recently described novel botulinum neurotoxin type H (BoNT/H). BoNT/H (N-terminal two-thirds most homologous to BoNT/F and C-terminal one-third most homologous to BoNT/A) requires ...

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.

Preventing Foodborne Illness: Clostridium botulinum

EDIS, 2014
Clostridium botulinum is ubiquitous in nature, often found in soil and water. The bacteria and spores alone do not cause disease, but they produce the botulinum toxin that causes botulism, a serious paralytic condition that can lead to death.

Diversity of Group I and II Clostridium botulinum Strains from France Including Recently Identified Subtypes

Genome Biology and Evolution, 2016
In France, human botulism is mainly food-borne intoxication, whereas infant botulism is rare. A total of 99 group I and II Clostridium botulinum strains including 59 type A (12 historical isolates [1947–1961], 43 from France [1986–2013], 3 from other ...

Diversity of the Germination Apparatus in Clostridium botulinum Groups I, II, III, and IV

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Clostridium botulinum is a highly dangerous pathogen that forms very resistant endospores that are ubiquitous in the environment, and which, under favorable conditions germinate to produce vegetative cells that multiply and form the exceptionally potent ...

Multivalent Chromosomal Expression of the Clostridium botulinum Serotype A Neurotoxin Heavy-Chain Antigen and the Bacillus anthracis Protective Antigen in Lactobacillus acidophilus

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2016
Clostridium botulinum and Bacillus anthracis produce potent toxins that cause severe disease in humans. New and improved vaccines are needed for both of these pathogens.
