Characterization of Clostridium botulinum spores and its toxin in honey
Botulism is a serious paralytic disease caused by Clostridium botulinum toxin in foods. There are seven recognized serotypes of botulinum neurotoxins among which the principal prevalent types in humans include A, B and E. Infant botulism results from intestinal colonization and toxin production by C. botulinum spores in babies less than 1 year old. Honey is the most important food discriminated...
متن کاملCommon mesophilic anaerobes, including Clostridium botulinum and Clostridium tetani, in 21 soil specimens.
A relatively rich medium was markedly superior to a dilute medium for the isolation of anaerobic bacteria from soil. The obligate anaerobes isolated from 21 soil samples were all clostridia and the counts ranged from 2.7 X 10-2 to 3.3 X 10-6 per g. The organisms most frequently isolated were Clostridium subterminate, C. sordelii, C. sporogenes, C. indolis, C. bifermentans, C. mangenoti, and C. ...
متن کاملComparative pathogenomics of Clostridium tetani
Clostridium tetani and Clostridium botulinum produce two of the most potent neurotoxins known, tetanus neurotoxin and botulinum neurotoxin, respectively. Extensive biochemical and genetic investigation has been devoted to identifying and characterizing various C. botulinum strains. Less effort has been focused on studying C. tetani likely because recently sequenced strains of C. tetani show muc...
متن کاملGlucose dissimilation by Clostridium tetani.
Clostridium tetani is generally considered to be a nonsaccharolytic organism and is so described in the most recent edition of Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology (Breed et al., 1957). Despite this widespread opinion, evidence to the contrary exists. Achalme (1902) reported the stimulation of growth of this organism by glucose without ferementation of glucose; Reddish and Rettger (192...
متن کاملClostridium tetani Osteitis without Tetanus
Emerging Infectious Diseases • www.cdc.gov/eid • Vol. 20, No. 9, September 2014 1571 Although persistence of B. melitensis in wild ruminants has not been reported, and these animals are considered an epidemiologic dead-end reservoir (3), the unexpected prevalence observed (≈50%) suggests that Alpine ibex could be the source of bovine brucellosis reemergence in the study area in France. Strict s...
