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.

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 ...

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.

Purification and Characterization of Botulinum Neurotoxin FA from a Genetically Modified Clostridium botulinum Strain

Msphere, 2016
Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs), produced by anaerobic bacteria, are the cause of the potentially deadly, neuroparalytic disease botulism. BoNTs have been classified into seven serotypes, serotypes A to G, based upon their selective neutralization by ...

Flagellar glycosylation in Clostridium botulinum [PDF]

The FEBS Journal, 2008
Flagellins from Clostridium botulinum were shown to be post‐translationally modified with novel glycan moieties by top‐down MS analysis of purified flagellin protein from strains of various toxin serotypes. Detailed analyses of flagellin from two strains of C.

Plasmids in Clostridium botulinum and related Clostridium species [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1984
Toxigenic Clostridium botulinum and nontoxigenic C. sporogenes, C. subterminale, and C. botulinum-like organisms from a variety of sources were screened for plasmids. Of the 68 toxigenic C. botulinum isolates, 56% carried one or more plasmids, ranging in mass from 2.1 to 81 megadaltons. Within individual groups (based on the type of neurotoxin produced)

Control of Blown Pack Spoilage in Vacuum Packaged Meat [PDF]

, 2009
End of project reportBlown pack spoilage (BPS) represents a significant commercial loss to Irish meat processors. This research discovered that the organisms causing BPS are ubiquitous in the abattoir environment, making eradication very difficult.

Efficacy of Botulinum Toxin A for the Management of Melasma: A Split‐Face, Randomized Control Study

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, Volume 24, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Melasma management remains challenging due to its multifactorial nature pathogenesis and recurrent nature. Previous studies showed positive effects of botulinum toxin A (BoNT‐A) for treating and preventing ultraviolet‐induced hyperpigmentation.
