Dual-Toxin-Producing Clostridium botulinum Strain Isolated from a Foodborne Botulism Case in Korea: Genomic and Functional Insights [PDF]

Toxins
Clostridium botulinum produces one of the most potent biological toxins and causes botulism, a rare but potentially fatal neuroparalytic disease. In 2014, a foodborne botulism case was reported in Korea, and a strain (CB-2014001) was isolated.
