Detection of botulinum neurotoxin or isolation of the toxin-producing organism is required for
the laboratory confirmation of botulism in clinical specimens. In an effort to reduce animal …

Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) are categorised into immunologically distinct serotypes
BoNT/A to/G). Each serotype can also be further divided into subtypes based on differences …

Clostridium botulinum Group I and Clostridium sporogenes are closely related bacteria
responsible for foodborne, infant and wound botulism. A comparative genomic study with …

The neurotoxin formed by Clostridium botulinum Group II is a major cause of foodborne
botulism, a deadly intoxication. This study aims to understand the genetic diversity and …

Botulinum neurotoxins are considered as one of the most potent toxins and are produced by
Clostridium botulinum. It is crucial to have a rapid and sensitive method to detect the …

Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) are the most potent toxins known and cause the life
threatening disease botulism. Sensitive and broad detection is extremely challenging due to …

Of the seven currently known botulinum neurotoxin-producing species of Clostridium, C.
parabotulinum, or C. botulinum Group I, is the species associated with the majority of human …

Clostridium bacteria were already known to Hippocrates many years before Christ. The
name of the Clostridium species is owed to the Polish microbiologist, Adam Prażmowski. It is …

Botulinum neurotoxin-producing clostridia are diverse in the types of toxins they produce as
well as in their overall genomic composition. They are globally distributed, with prevalent …

A description of an outbreak of necrotizing enterocolitis among neonates, linked to the
putative novel species Clostridium neonatale and assignable to the genus Clostridium, was …
