TO THE EDITOR—I write on behalf of the Department of Health and Human Services to clarify some matters addressed in the editorial commentary [1] accompanying the recently published article by Barash and Arnon [2]. In the Notes section , the commentary states, " A committee representing various branches of the US government reviewed and approved submissions of the manuscripts " [1] authored by B...
متن کاملCharacterization 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 کاملDifferentiation of Clostridium difficile toxin from Clostridium botulinum toxin by the mouse lethality test.
The mouse lethality test is the most sensitive method for confirming the diagnosis of infant botulism. Both Clostridium difficile and Clostridium botulinum produce heat-labile toxins which are lethal for mice and can be found in the feces of infants. These two toxins can be distinguished from one another in this assay when both are present in the same fecal specimen because they appear to be im...
متن کاملCellular Entry of Clostridium perfringens Iota-Toxin and Clostridium botulinum C2 Toxin
Clostridium perfringens iota-toxin and Clostridium botulinum C2 toxin are composed of two non-linked proteins, one being the enzymatic component and the other being the binding/translocation component. These latter components recognize specific receptors and oligomerize in plasma membrane lipid-rafts, mediating the uptake of the enzymatic component into the cytosol. Enzymatic components induce ...
