Comparative genomic analyses reveal broad diversity in botulinum-toxin-producing Clostridia [PDF]

, 2016
Background: Clostridium botulinum is a diverse group of bacteria characterized by the production of botulinum neurotoxin. Botulinum neurotoxins are classified into serotypes (BoNT/A-G), which are produced by six species/Groups of Clostridia, but the ...

The Gut‐Brain Axis in Parkinson disease: Emerging Concepts and Therapeutic Implications

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, Volume 12, Issue 7, Page 904-916, July 2025.
Abstract Background The gut‐brain axis, i.e. the bidirectional communication system between the gut and the brain, has become of central importance in Parkinson disease (PD) research over the past 20 years. Aims We aimed to describe the milestones of the gut‐brain axis research in PD and the development of theories proposing the involvement of the ...

Application of PCR to a clinical and environmental investigation of a case of equine botulism [PDF]

, 1994
PCR for the detection of botulinum neurotoxin gene types A to E was used in the investigation of a case of equine botulism. Samples from a foal diagnosed with toxicoinfectious botulism in 1985 were reanalyzed by PCR and the mouse bioassay in conjunction ...

Regulation of toxin synthesis in Clostridium botulinum and Clostridium tetani [PDF]

Toxicon, 2013
Botulinum and tetanus neurotoxins are structurally and functionally related proteins that are potent inhibitors of neuroexocytosis. Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) associates with non-toxic proteins (ANTPs) to form complexes of various sizes, whereas tetanus toxin (TeNT) does not form any complex.

Innovations in Edible Packaging Films, Coatings, and Antimicrobial Agents for Applications in Food Industry

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 24, Issue 4, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Packaging reduction, particularly in terms of single‐use plastic (SUP) packaging waste, as well as restrictions on specific packaging formats and regulatory requirements, are driving the demand for sustainable packaging solutions. Notably, within the category of SUP products, packaging accounts for the highest share at 40%. Therefore, advanced

Inhibition of Clostridium (C.) botulinum and its toxins by probiotic bacteria and their metabolites: An update review

Quality Assurance and Safety of crops & foods, 2020
Clostridium (C.) botulinum is the causative agent of foodborne poisoning such as botulism, which includes high mortality rates in animals and humans. Probiotic bacteria play critically functional roles in food matrices, as well as agricultural, clinical ...

Type E Botulinum Neurotoxin-Producing Clostridium butyricum Strains Are Aerotolerant during Vegetative Growth

mSystems, 2019
Clostridium butyricum, the type species of the genus Clostridium, is considered an obligate anaerobe, yet it has been shown to grow in the presence of oxygen. C. butyricum strains atypically producing the botulinum neurotoxin type E are the leading cause

Botulinum toxin type A treatment for a parotid gland injury in two adult horses

Equine Veterinary Education, Volume 37, Issue 7, Page e119-e125, July 2025.
Summary The most common disorder affecting the salivary glands in horses is trauma to the parotid gland or duct. Several management techniques have been described, each with their own set of complications. The objective of this case report was to describe the direct injection of botulinum toxin type A into the parotid gland and its outcome in two ...

Clostridium botulinum in the Gulf of Thailand [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1979
A survey was carried out to determine the incidence of Clostridium botulinum in samples of mud, sand, and fish from the Gulf of Thailand. Enrichment cultures from 762 samples of mud and sand from seven different areas around the Gulf were tested. C.
