Isolation and properties of a subtilin resistant strain of Clostridium botulinum.

چکیده
Several investigations have revealed that Clostridium botlelinum is sensitive to the polypeptide antibiotic subtilini (Andersen, 1952; Williams and Fleming, 1952; Andersen et al., 1953; Le Blanc et al., 1953; Lewis et al., 1954; Michener, 1955; O'Brien et al., 1956). For this and other reasons, subtilin has been extensively studied for its potential use ill the preservation of canned foods (Campbell and O'Brien, 1955). Before subtilin can be employed safely in the preservation of certain low-acid canned foods, however, it is essential that information be obtained on the ability of C. botulinum to become resistant to this antibiotic. Salle and Jann (1948) and M\IcVeigh and Hobdy (1952) have reported that several types of bacteria develop a resistance to subtilin after exposure to sublethal concentrations of the antibiotic. The present paper is concerned with the isolation and properties of a subtilin-resistant strain of Clostridiutm botidinuim.

Expression and Purification of Neurotoxin-Associated Protein HA-33/A from Clostridium botulinum and Evaluation of Its Antigenicity
Background: Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) complexes consist of neurotoxin and neurotoxin-associated proteins. Hemagglutinin-33 (HA-33) is a member of BoNT type A (BoNT/A) complex. Considering the protective role of HA-33 in preservation of BoNT/A in gastrointestinal harsh conditions and also its adjuvant role, recombinant production of this protein is favorable. Thus in this study, HA-33 was expr...

متن کاملDouble Sandwich ELISA Modified Method for the Detection of Clostridium Botulinum Type E
Background & Objective: A very small amount of botulinum toxin can cause death and on the other hand, there is no cure for its poison other than antitoxin. Therefore, a diagnostic method that can detect very small amounts of botulinum toxin in a short time is very important. In this study, rapid and accurate detection of botulinum toxin type E has been performed with the double sandwich ELISA m...
متن کاملConjugative Botulinum Neurotoxin-Encoding Plasmids in Clostridium botulinum
BACKGROUND Clostridium botulinum produces seven distinct serotypes of botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs). The genes encoding different subtype neurotoxins of serotypes A, B, F and several dual neurotoxin-producing strains have been shown to reside on plasmids, suggesting that intra- and interspecies transfer of BoNT-encoding plasmids may occur. The objective of the present study was to determine whe...
