Comparative 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...

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...
متن کاملDoppler-guided hemorrhoid artery ligation reduces the need for conventional hemorrhoid surgery in patients who fail rubber band ligation treatment.
PURPOSE This study was designed to assess whether Doppler-guided hemorrhoid artery ligation can prevent patients from needing conventional surgery when rubber band ligation of their hemorrhoids has failed to achieve symptomatic relief. METHODS All patients who underwent treatment for hemorrhoids in two hospitals between September 2004 and June 2007 are reported. RESULTS A total of 203 patie...
متن کاملIsolation of Clostridium Tetani from Soil.
Sanada, Ichiro (Kanazawa University, Kanazawa, Japan), and Shoki Nishida. Isolation of Clostridium tetani from soil. J. Bacteriol. 89:626-629. 1965.-The higher the temperatures applied to soil specimens, the weaker the toxigenicity of Clostridium tetani strains isolated from them. The glucose- and maltose-fermenting ability of these isolates was inversely proportional to their toxigenicity. The...
