Foodborne botulism: an evolving public health challenge

Infectious Diseases, 2018
Foodborne botulism is a life-threatening disease caused by the ingestion of food containing preformed botulinum neurotoxins, the most potent natural poisons known to humans. On the basis of the new challenges in management of the diseases as well as considering the potential use of botulinum toxins as biological weapons, foodborne botulism is still ...

Foodborne Toxic Infections. Botulism

Food-borne toxic infections are illnesses that occur as a result of ingestion of preformed toxins present in contaminated food, rather than from infection by live bacteria. These toxins can be heat-stable and may survive conventional cooking or preservation methods, posing a significant risk to public health.

[Foodborne botulism, prevent and treatment].

Presse medicale (Paris, France : 1983), 2005
The United States and Europe agree that the treatment of botulism is based on symptomatical measures and, notably, on mechanical ventilation when the respiratory function is impaired. Opinions diverge regarding the specific treatment represented by anti-botulinum serum: used systematically in the United States and frequently in many European countries,

Epidemiology of Human Foodborne Botulism

2018
The aim of this chapter is to update and expand an earlier review, which included a discussion of human foodborne botulism worldwide (Hauschild, 1989). That review showed a close association between the frequency and type of botulism outbreaks and the occurrence of Clostridium botulinum in the environment.
