Botulinum toxin therapy: functional silencing of salivary disorders. [PDF]
, 2017 Botulinum toxin (BTX) is a neurotoxic protein produced by Clostridium botulinum, an anaerobic bacterium. BTX therapy is a safe and effective treatment when used for functional silencing of the salivary glands in disorders such as sialoceles and salivary ...

The light chain of tetanus toxin inhibits calcium-dependent vasopressin release from permeabilized nerve endings [PDF]
, 1992 The effects of tetanus toxin and its light and heavy chain subunits on vasopressin release were investigated in digitonin-permeabilized neurosecretory nerve terminals isolated from the neural lobe of the rat pituitary gland.

Infant Botulism: A Case Study in Integrated Clinical and Public Health Response
Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 12, December 2025.ABSTRACT Early recognition of constipation, feeding difficulty, and descending weakness in infants is vital for prompt diagnosis of infant botulism. Bedside nerve studies support early treatment. Rapid public health notification and coordinated access to specific therapies, including timely use of BAT and BIG‐IV, are essential to optimize outcomes and ...

Clostridium botulinum in British soil [PDF]
Journal of Hygiene, 1980 SUMMARYSoil samples from various parts of Britain were examined for Clostridium botulinum by a sensitive technique comparable with that recently used for mud samples from British aquatic environments. The results showed beyond doubt that in Britain the prevalence of the organism in soil is much lower than in mud.

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 12, December 2025.ABSTRACT Severe, unexpected pain during botulinum toxin injection is a critical red flag for reconstitution error. Using sterile water instead of normal saline may cause atypical, wider‐spread effects like proximal muscle weakness, even at standard doses. Strict adherence to saline reconstitution is essential to prevent this complication.

Functional characterisation of germinant receptors in Clostridium botulinum and Clostridium sporogenes presents novel insights into spore germination systems. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2014 Clostridium botulinum is a dangerous pathogen that forms the highly potent botulinum toxin, which when ingested causes a deadly neuroparalytic disease. The closely related Clostridium sporogenes is occasionally pathogenic, frequently associated with food

A Drosophila Model for Clostridium difficile Toxin CDT Reveals Interactions with Multiple Effector Pathways. [PDF]
, 2020 Clostridium difficile infections (CDIs) cause severe and occasionally life-threatening diarrhea. Hyper-virulent strains produce CDT, a toxin that ADP-ribosylates actin monomers and inhibits actin polymerization.

Use of Cold Plasma for Phytosanitation and Decontamination of Food Products: A Review
Future Postharvest and Food, Volume 2, Issue 4, Page 390-410, December 2025.Applications of cold plasma in food industry. ABSTRACT Consumers are increasingly demanding healthy and nutrient‐rich food. Although conventional thermal processing techniques (pasteurization, sterilization, and blanching) ensure food safety and extend shelf life, they often negatively impact nutritional value and sensory quality, and they also consume
