Botulism is neuromuscular paralysis secondary to a neurotoxin secreted from Clostridium Botulinum bacteria. It is a rare syndrome as a result of food poisoning with the spore-forming clostridium bacteria. The ingested food is contaminated with the pre-secreted botulinum toxin. Infant botulism occurs with the ingestion of the clostridial spores that later germinate and colonize the intestine and...

This paper describes our experience in the management of the pharyngocutaneous post-laryngectomy fistula with Botulinum neurotoxin-A injections into both parotid glands. It includes the rationale of the treatment, the physiological and pharmacological basis for this clinical application, the injection technique and the good results achieved. Our findings suggest that Botulinum neurotoxin offers...

Botulinum neurotoxins produced by Clostridium botulinum cause flaccid paralysis by inhibiting neurotransmitter release at peripheral nerve terminals. Previously, we found that neurons derived from the murine P19 embryonal carcinoma cell line exhibited high sensitivity to botulinum neurotoxin type C. In order to prove the utility of P19 cells for the study of the intracellular mechanism of botul...

Description: BOTOX COSMETIC (Botulinum Toxin Type A) Purified Neurotoxin Complex is a sterile, vacuum-dried purified botulinum toxin type A, produced from fermentation of Hall strain Clostridium botulinum type A grown in a medium containing casein hydrolysate, glucose and yeast extract. It is purified from the culture solution by dialysis and a series of acid precipitations to a complex consist...

We examined the reactivities of Clostridium butyricum neurotoxin to nine monoclonal antibodies against Clostridium botulinum type E neurotoxin which recognize the light chain or the amino-terminal half (H-1 fragment) or the carboxyl-terminal half (H-2 fragment) of the heavy chain of botulinum neurotoxin. Butyricum neurotoxin and its derived chains did not react to two of four monoclonal antibod...
