Botulism
A disease caused by potent protein NEUROTOXINS produced by CLOSTRIDIUM BOTULINUM which interfere with the presynaptic release of ACETYLCHOLINE at the NEUROMUSCULAR JUNCTION. Clinical features include abdominal pain, vomiting, acute PARALYSIS (including respiratory paralysis), blurred vision, and DIPLOPIA. Botulism may be classified into several subtypes (e.g., food-borne, infant, wound, and others). (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1208)
Clostridium botulinum
A species of anaerobic, gram-positive, rod-shaped bacteria in the family Clostridiaceae that produces proteins with characteristic neurotoxicity. It is the etiologic agent of BOTULISM in humans, wild fowl, HORSES; and CATTLE. Seven subtypes (sometimes called antigenic types, or strains) exist, each producing a different botulinum toxin (BOTULINUM TOXINS). The organism and its spores are widely distributed in nature.
Botulinum Toxins
Toxic proteins produced from the species CLOSTRIDIUM BOTULINUM. The toxins are synthesized as a single peptide chain which is processed into a mature protein consisting of a heavy chain and light chain joined via a disulfide bond. The botulinum toxin light chain is a zinc-dependent protease which is released from the heavy chain upon ENDOCYTOSIS into PRESYNAPTIC NERVE ENDINGS. Once inside the cell the botulinum toxin light chain cleaves specific SNARE proteins which are essential for secretion of ACETYLCHOLINE by SYNAPTIC VESICLES. This inhibition of acetylcholine release results in muscular PARALYSIS.
Botulinum Toxins, Type A
A serotype of botulinum toxins that has specificity for cleavage of SYNAPTOSOMAL-ASSOCIATED PROTEIN 25.
Clostridium botulinum type E
Subtype of CLOSTRIDIUM BOTULINUM that produces botulinum toxin type E which is neurotoxic to humans and animals.
Food, Preserved
Food that has been prepared and stored in a way to prevent spoilage.
Food Preservation
Procedures or techniques used to keep food from spoiling.
Clostridium botulinum type A
Subtype of CLOSTRIDIUM BOTULINUM that produces BOTULINUM TOXINS, TYPE A which is neurotoxic to humans and animals.
Food Microbiology
The presence of bacteria, viruses, and fungi in food and food products. This term is not restricted to pathogenic organisms: the presence of various non-pathogenic bacteria and fungi in cheeses and wines, for example, is included in this concept.
Melia
A plant genus of the family MELIACEAE. Members contain meliavolkinin, melianin C and limonoids.
Georgia (Republic)
Wound Infection
Invasion of the site of trauma by pathogenic microorganisms.
Food Packaging
Containers, packaging, and packaging materials for processed and raw foods and beverages. It includes packaging intended to be used for storage and also used for preparation of foods such as microwave food containers versus COOKING AND EATING UTENSILS. Packaging materials may be intended for food contact or designated non-contact, for example, shipping containers. FOOD LABELING is also available.
Toxemia
A condition produced by the presence of toxins or other harmful substances in the BLOOD.
Foodborne Diseases
Acute illnesses, usually affecting the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT, brought on by consuming contaminated food or beverages. Most of these diseases are infectious, caused by a variety of bacteria, viruses, or parasites that can be foodborne. Sometimes the diseases are caused by harmful toxins from the microbes or other chemicals present in the food. Especially in the latter case, the condition is often called food poisoning.
Disease Outbreaks
Sudden increase in the incidence of a disease. The concept includes EPIDEMICS and PANDEMICS.
Clostridium botulinum type D
Subtype of CLOSTRIDIUM BOTULINUM that produces botulinum toxin type D which is neurotoxic to ANIMALS, especially CATTLE, but not humans.
Food Contamination
The presence in food of harmful, unpalatable, or otherwise objectionable foreign substances, e.g. chemicals, microorganisms or diluents, before, during, or after processing or storage.
Clostridium
A genus of motile or nonmotile gram-positive bacteria of the family Clostridiaceae. Many species have been identified with some being pathogenic. They occur in water, soil, and in the intestinal tract of humans and lower animals.
Weed Control
The prevention of growth and or spread of unwanted plants.
Chlorpropham

Tilia
A plant genus of the family TILIACEAE. Some species in this genus are called Limetree which is nearly the same as the common name for lime (CITRUS AURANTIIFOLIA). Some people are allergic to the POLLEN.
Complicity
Association with or participation in an act that is, or is perceived to be, criminal or immoral. One is complicitous when one promotes or unduly benefits from practices or institutions that are morally or legally suspect.
Arizona
Night Terrors
A disorder characterized by incomplete arousals from sleep associated with behavior suggesting extreme fright. This condition primarily affects children and young adults and the individual generally has no recall of the event. Episodes tend to occur during stage III or IV. SOMNAMBULISM is frequently associated with this condition. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p391)
Asparagus Plant

Biodiversity of Clostridium botulinum type E strains isolated from fish and fishery products. (1/315)

The genetic biodiversity of Clostridium botulinum type E strains was studied by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) with two macrorestriction enzymes (SmaI-XmaI and XhoI) and by randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis with two primers (OPJ 6 and OPJ 13) to characterize 67 Finnish isolates from fresh fish and fishery products, 15 German isolates from farmed fish, and 10 isolates of North American or North Atlantic origin derived mainly from different types of seafood. The effects of fish species, processing, and geographical origin on the epidemiology of the isolates were evaluated. Cluster analysis based on macrorestriction profiles was performed to study the genetic relationships of the isolates. PFGE and RAPD analyses were combined and resulted in the identification of 62 different subtypes among the 92 type E isolates analyzed. High genetic biodiversity among the isolates was observed regardless of their source. Finnish and North American or North Atlantic isolates did not form distinctly discernible clusters, in contrast with the genetically homogeneous group of German isolates. On the other hand, indistinguishable or closely related genetic profiles among epidemiologically unrelated samples were detected. It was concluded that the high genetic variation was probably a result of a lack of strong selection factors that would influence the evolution of type E. The wide genetic biodiversity observed among type E isolates indicates the value of DNA-based typing methods as a tool in contamination studies in the food industry and in investigations of botulism outbreaks.  (+info)

Foodborne botulism associated with home-canned bamboo shoots--Thailand, 1998. (2/315)

On April 13, 1998, the Field Epidemiology Training Program in the Thailand Ministry of Public Health (TMPH) was informed of six persons with sudden onset of cranial nerve palsies suggestive of botulism who were admitted to a provincial hospital in northern Thailand. To determine the cause of the cluster, TMPH initiated an investigation on April 14. This report summarizes the results of the investigation, which indicate that the outbreak was caused by foodborne botulism from home-canned bamboo shoots.  (+info)

In situ detection of the Clostridium botulinum type C1 toxin gene in wetland sediments with a nested PCR assay. (3/315)

A nested PCR was developed for detection of the Clostridium botulinum type C1 toxin gene in sediments collected from wetlands where avian botulism outbreaks had or had not occurred. The C1 toxin gene was detected in 16 of 18 sites, demonstrating both the ubiquitous distribution of C. botulinum type C in wetland sediments and the sensitivity of the detection assay.  (+info)

A predictive model that describes the effect of prolonged heating at 70 to 90 degrees C and subsequent incubation at refrigeration temperatures on growth from spores and toxigenesis by nonproteolytic Clostridium botulinum in the presence of lysozyme. (4/315)

Refrigerated processed foods of extended durability such as cook-chill and sous-vide foods rely on a minimal heat treatment at 70 to 95 degrees C and then storage at a refrigeration temperature for safety and preservation. These foods are not sterile and are intended to have an extended shelf life, often up to 42 days. The principal microbiological hazard in foods of this type is growth of and toxin production by nonproteolytic Clostridium botulinum. Lysozyme has been shown to increase the measured heat resistance of nonproteolytic C. botulinum spores. However, the heat treatment guidelines for prevention of risk of botulism in these products have not taken into consideration the effect of lysozyme, which can be present in many foods. In order to assess the botulism hazard, the effect of heat treatments at 70, 75, 80, 85, and 90 degrees C combined with refrigerated storage for up to 90 days on growth from 10(6) spores of nonproteolytic C. botulinum (types B, E, and F) in an anaerobic meat medium containing 2,400 U of lysozyme per ml (50 microg per ml) was studied. Provided that the storage temperature was no higher than 8 degrees C, the following heat treatments each prevented growth and toxin production during 90 days; 70 degrees C for >/=2,545 min, 75 degrees C for >/=463 min, 80 degrees C for >/=230 min, 85 degrees C for >/=84 min, and 90 degrees C for >/=33.5 min. A factorial experimental design allowed development of a predictive model that described the incubation time required before the first sample showed growth, as a function of heating temperature (70 to 90 degrees C), period of heat treatment (up to 2,545 min), and incubation temperature (5 to 25 degrees C). Predictions from the model provided a valid description of the data used to generate the model and agreed with observations made previously.  (+info)

Clostridium difficile colitis associated with infant botulism: near-fatal case analogous to Hirschsprung's enterocolitis. (5/315)

We present the first five reported cases of Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD) in children with infant botulism caused by Clostridium botulinum. We compare two fulminant cases of colitis in children with colonic stasis, the first caused by infant botulism and the second caused by Hirschsprung's disease. In both children, colitis was accompanied by hypovolemia, hypotension, profuse ascites, pulmonary effusion, restrictive pulmonary disease, and femoral-caval thrombosis. Laboratory findings included pronounced leukocytosis, hypoalbuminemia, hyponatremia, coagulopathy, and, when examined in the child with infant botulism, detection of C. difficile toxin in ascites. CDAD recurred in both children, even though difficile cytotoxin was undetectable in stool after prolonged initial therapy. Four children who had both infant botulism and milder CDAD also are described. Colonic stasis, whether acquired, as in infant botulism, or congenital, as in Hirschsprung's disease, may contribute to the susceptibility to and the severity of CDAD.  (+info)

Quantification of Clostridium botulinum toxin gene expression by competitive reverse transcription-PCR. (6/315)

Clostridium botulinum produces a characteristic botulinum neurotoxin which can cause an often fatal neuroparalytic condition known as botulism. Although food-borne botulism is rare, critical screening by food companies is necessary to ensure that food products are safe. At present, the food industry assesses the risks of botulinum neurotoxin production by challenge testing to check any new food products and to check the efficacy of new storage regimes. Challenge testing involves artificial introduction of defined strains of microorganisms into food, and microbial growth and possible toxin production are then monitored. Botulinum toxin is normally analyzed by using the mouse bioassay. However, the mouse bioassay is expensive, slow, and politically sensitive because of animal rights issues. In this paper we describe adaptation of a new assay, competitive reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR), to monitor botulinum neurotoxin production. This method accurately measures the level of toxin-encoding mRNA in C. botulinum cells. Measurement of mRNA should provide a good indication of gene expression as mRNA is turned over rapidly in bacterial cells. In addition, the method is rapid, specific, and sensitive. The competitive RT-PCR method was developed to examine C. botulinum E VH toxin gene expression and was used to investigate the level of toxin production by C. botulinum E VH when the organism was grown in two different types of broth. The results which we obtained with the competitive RT-PCR method demonstrated that this method is more rapid and more sensitive than the mouse bioassay.  (+info)

Type C botulism in dairy cattle from feed contaminated with a dead cat. (7/315)

Four hundred twenty-seven of 441 adult Holstein dairy cattle from a 1,200-cow dairy died over a 1-week period during early spring 1998. Affected animals were from 4 late lactation pens, one of which included the bull string. Signs included weakness, recumbency, watery diarrhea, and death. Eighty animals from the 4 pens were dead approximately 8 hours after the first ill cows were noted. Affected cows would collapse on stimulation and extend all 4 limbs with moderate rigidity. Several lacked lingual tonus and had abdominal breathing patterns. The animals had been fed a load of total mixed ration that included a rotten bale of oat hay containing a dead cat. No common toxicants were identified, and pathologic examination revealed no consistent lesions. Testing of tissue from the cat carcass found in the feed sample using mouse protection bioassay identified the presence of type C botulinum toxin. Samples of feed, tissue from affected animals, cat tissue from feed, milk, and serum were also tested using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) specific for type C botulinum. Two samples of rumen contents were tested and found to be positive for botulism by ELISA, and 1 of 3 liver samples had a weak positive finding. No botulinum toxin was found in milk or sera using the ELISA.  (+info)

Control of bacterial spores. (8/315)

Bacterial spores are much more resistant than their vegetative counterparts. The most dangerous spore-former is Clostridium botulinum which produces a potent neurotoxin that can prove fatal. The most common food poisoning from a spore-former is caused by C. perfringens. Other food poisoning spore-formers include Bacillus cereus, B. subtilis and B. licheniformis. There are a number of non-pathogenic spore-formers including butyric and thermophilic anaerobes that cause significant economic losses to food producers. Some unusual spoilage complaints have been reported, for example, B. sporothermodurans in UHT milk, Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris in apple and orange juice and Desulfotomaculum nigrificans in hot vending machines. Control of spore-formers requires an understanding of both the resistance and outgrowth characteristics of the spores.  (+info)

Two other forms of botulism also have occurred. Adult intestinal botulism is very rare and occurs among adults by the same route as infant botulism. Iatrogenic botulism is also very rare and can occur as a complication from injecting botulism toxin for cosmetic or medical purposes.. Who gets botulism?. Anyone can get botulism with about 200 cases reported in the United States each year. Most cases involve infant botulism which occurs in babies younger than 12 months old. Infant botulism has been associated with honey, a natural product that can contain botulism spores. Foodborne botulism can occur after eating home-canned, preserved or fermented foods that are contaminated with toxin. Foods with low acid content (e.g., asparagus, green beans, beets, corn, and potatoes) are the most common sources of home-canning related botulism. Wound botulism can occur more often in people who inject drugs or who have open wounds that are exposed to soil or gravel. Iatrogenic botulism is rare but can occur ...

Botulism is caused by a neurotoxin produced from the anaerobic, spore-forming bacterium Clostridium botulinum. Botulism in humans is usually caused by toxin types A, B, and E. Since 1973, a median of 24 cases of foodborne botulism, 3 cases of wound botulism, and 71 cases of infant botulism have been reported annually to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). New vehicles for transmission have emerged in recent decades, and wound botulism associated with black tar heroin has increased dramatically since 1994. Recently, the potential terrorist use of botulinum toxin has become an important concern.. Botulism is characterized by symmetric, descending, flaccid paralysis of motor and autonomic nerves, usually beginning with the cranial nerves.Blurred vision, dysphagia, and dysarthria are common initial complaints. The diagnosis of botulism is based on compatible clinical findings; history of exposure to suspect foods; and supportive ancillary testing to rule out other causes of ...

Emergencies Biological BotulismEmergencies Biological Botulism
There are three main types of botulism, categorized by the way the disease is acquired. Food-borne botulism is caused by eating food contaminated with botulinum toxin. This typically occurs when a stored food item contains Clostridium botulinum spores which begin to grow and produce the toxin within the food item, if environmental conditions are favorable.. Wound botulism occurs when the Clostridium botulinum bacteria infects a wound and then produces the toxin.. Infant botulism occurs when an infant consumes the spores of the botulinum bacteria which are commonly found in the environment. Once the bacteria enter an infants immature intestines, the spores can grow produce and release the toxins.. Adult intestinal botulism is the rarest form of botulism. Like infant botulism, it is caused when Clostridium botulinum spores are eaten in food. If environmental conditions are favorable in the intestinal tract, the bacteria may grow in that location and produce botulinum toxin, which is then absorbed ...

Botulism, gas gangrene, and clostridial gastrointestinal infections - Oxford MedicineBotulism, gas gangrene, and clostridial gastrointestinal infections - Oxford Medicine
Human botulism is caused by seven serological types of C. botulinum, which is ubiquitously distributed in the soil. Poisoning usually results from ingestion of preformed toxin in food, although this is rapidly inactivated at ordinary cooking temperatures, but it can also result from contaminated wounds. C. botulinum toxin binds irreversibly to the neuromuscular junction and is the most lethal known microbial toxin. There are five forms of clinical botulism: food-borne botulism; wound botulism; infant botulism; adult enteric infectious botulism; and inhalational botulism. Clinical presentation is with symptoms suggesting gastrointestinal tract illness, followed by neurological symptoms including diplopia, blurred vision, dizziness, and difficulty with speech or swallowing, leading on to generalized flaccid paralysis. The diagnosis can be confirmed by testing for botulinum toxin in the patients serum, urine, or stomach contents, or in the suspect food. Treatment requires supportive care, which may

Infant Botulism - American Family PhysicianInfant Botulism - American Family Physician
Although the worldwide incidence of infant botulism is rare, the majority of cases are diagnosed in the United States. An infant can acquire botulism by ingesting Clostridium botulinum spores, which are found in soil or honey products. The spores germinate into bacteria that colonize the bowel and synthesize toxin. As the toxin is absorbed, it irreversibly binds to acetylcholine receptors on motor nerve terminals at neuromuscular junctions. The infant with botulism becomes progressively weak, hypotonic and hyporeflexic, showing bulbar and spinal nerve abnormalities. Presenting symptoms include constipation, lethargy, a weak cry, poor feeding and dehydration. A high index of suspicion is important for the diagnosis and prompt treatment of infant botulism, because this disease can quickly progress to respiratory failure. Diagnosis is confirmed by isolating the organism or toxin in the stool and finding a classic electromyogram pattern. Treatment consists of nutritional and respiratory support until new

Foodborne botulism, a potentially lethal neuroparalytic disease, is caused by ingesting preformed Clostridium botulinum neurotoxin. We reviewed surveillance data and reports from 1990 to 2000. Of 263 cases from 160 foodborne botulism events (episode of one or more related cases) in the United States, 103 (39%) cases and 58 events occurred in Alaska. Patients median age was 48 years; 154 (59%) were female; the case-fatality rate was 4%. The median number of cases per event was 1 (range 1-17). Toxin type A caused 51% of all cases; toxin type E caused 90% of Alaska cases. A particular food was implicated in 126 (79%) events. In the lower 49 states, a noncommercial food item was implicated in 70 (91%) events, most commonly, home-canned vegetables (44%). Two restaurant-associated outbreaks affected 25 persons. All Alaska cases were attributable to traditional Alaska Native foods. Botulism prevention efforts should be focused on those who preserve food at home, Alaska Natives, and restaurant workers.

Botulism from Home Canning in the United States - Healthy CanningBotulism from Home Canning in the United States - Healthy Canning
Fortunately, we have very few, if any, botulism cases associated with foods in the US. Now we only see what is known as wound botulism. This is what happens when a cut is not cleaned out well and scabs over. In a very few cases, this will provide an ideal environment for the botulism organism to grow. Again, very fortunately this is an extremely rare event…. Many of us believe that home canned foods are probably not as inherently safe as the data might suggest, because almost everyone cooks the food before serving it. Botulism toxin is destroyed by boiling for 10 minutes. So even if the products were improperly canned, people would still be safe because of the cooking. The other nice(?) thing is that there are some spoilage organisms that are even more heat resistant than the one that causes botulism so the food starts to ooze or fizz out of the jar. Most people (but not all, I must report) are sensible enough to throw the stuff out rather than try to eat it. Douglas L. Holt, Ph.D., Chair, ...

First Case of Infant Botulism Caused by Clostridium baratii Type F in California | Journal of Clinical MicrobiologyFirst Case of Infant Botulism Caused by Clostridium baratii Type F in California | Journal of Clinical Microbiology
The bioassay of the stool extract identified a heat-labile toxin that was neutralized only by type F monovalent botulinum antitoxin (Table 1). The directly inoculated stool culture plates revealed heavy growth of lecithinase-positive colonies in almost pure culture on egg yolk agar and slightly beta-hemolytic colonies on sheep blood agar after 24 h of incubation. No growth was observed on botulinum selective medium at 72 h. Nonproteolytic growth was evident at 24 h in both broth culture tubes. Filtrate from a pure culture of the lecithinase-positive organism, like the stool extract, tested positive for botulinum toxin type F. Test results from additional subsequent stool specimens confirmed the finding (Table 1). Biochemical characterization and 16S rRNA sequencing, together with the culture and bioassay results, identified the organism as Clostridium baratii type F.

Efficacy of Avian Botulism Surveillance and Mitigation Using Detection CaninesEfficacy of Avian Botulism Surveillance and Mitigation Using Detection Canines
National Wildlife Refuges and State Wildlife Sanctuaries in the subtropical Hawaiian Islands have experienced severe die-off events from avian botulism with increasing frequency. In the wetlands of Hanalei National Wildlife Refuge (Kauai, Hawaii) and elsewhere, avian botulism is fatal and is caused by food poisoning from the bacteria Clostridium botulinum (strain C). The impact of avian botulism may increase globally as the bacteria Clostridium botulinum (strain C) favors warmer water temperatures. Hawaiis non-migratory endemic waterbirds are especially vulnerable to avian botulism (type C) with epizootics causing mortality of thousands of endangered waterbirds in recent years. Migratory waterfowl and shorebirds are also affected. The endangered koloa maoli (Hawaiian duck; Anas wyvilliana) and critically-endangered Laysan duck (Laysan teal; A. laysanensis) have particularly high exposure because of their feeding behavior, limited wetland habitat, and small geographic ranges.

Scottish botulism poisoning highlights limitations of anti-bacterial sanitisers. News of an outbreak of Botulism poisoning in Scotland this week has heightened awareness and concerns over food hygiene and infection control. The cases are believed to have been caused by a contaminated batch of Lloyd Grossmans curry sauce. With two people hospitalised after consuming the sauce, there are fears that the outbreak could spread if proper infection control procedures are not followed.. Botulism is a notifiable disease - patients suspected of infection should be treated in a side room with strict infection control procedures. A botulism anti-toxin is available, and should be administered as treatment.. People coming into contact with botulism, who include not only front line medical staff but others such as cleaners, ambulance crew and porters, all need proper protection. A vomit and urine spill kit with the correct PPE including face mask is sufficient to prevent infection. What many people are not ...

Infant Botulism and Raised Intraocular PressureInfant Botulism and Raised Intraocular Pressure
Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus | Infant botulism is an exceedingly rare disease. Because confirmatory laboratory testing is not available for several days after time of presentation, infant botulism remains a clinical diagnosis. The authors demonstrate how raised intraocular pressure may provide an additional clinical clue to making the diagnosis.

Botulism outbreak in Armenia - Outbreak News TodayBotulism outbreak in Armenia - Outbreak News Today
Less than a day after consuming the marinade, the victims presented with symptoms of botulism. They were taken to the hospital where they are being treated. One is in serious condition, according to the report.. Food borne botulism is a severe intoxication caused by eating the preformed toxin present in contaminated food.. Food borne botulism occurs when the bacterium Clostridium botulinum is allowed to grow and produce toxin in food that is later eaten without sufficient heating or cooking to inactivate the toxin. Botulinum toxin is one of the most potent neurotoxins known.. Typically in a few hours to several days after you eat the contaminated food you will start to show the classic symptoms; blurred vision, dry mouth, and difficulty in swallowing. Gastrointestinal symptoms may or may not occur. If untreated, the paralysis always descends through the body starting at the shoulders and working its way down.. The most serious complication of botulism is respiratory failure where it is fatal in ...

Waterbird mortality from botulism type E in Lake Michigan (USA, Canada): an updateWaterbird mortality from botulism type E in Lake Michigan (USA, Canada): an update
Three outbreaks of botulism type E occurring in waterbirds on Lake Michigan since autumn 1976 are discussed. Natural ingestion of food containing type E toxin by Ring-billed Gulls (Larus delawarensis) and the presence of type E toxin in the blood from moribund gulls were demonstrated. Concurrent presence of type C and type E botulinal toxins was found in a die-off of Common Loons (Gavia immer). In combination with previous reported outbreaks, these incidents suggest that this disease is geographically widespread in Lake Michigan, and that environmental conditions conducive to type E botulinal toxin production and consumption occur in both summer and autumn....

Wetland birds die in botulism outbreakWetland birds die in botulism outbreak
A botulism outbreak at an internationally significant wetland just south of Auckland has killed hundreds of game and migratory birds including some endangered species.. The outbreak of the deadly disease at Miranda on the shores of the Firth of Thames has prompted a major cleanup operation to remove dead birds involving Fish & Game, DOC and the Miranda Shorebird Centre.. Avian botulism can paralyse and kill birds and outbreaks are often sparked by warm temperatures and water with low oxygen content. Miranda is recognised by the international Ramsar Convention as a significant global wetland worthy of protection and conservation. It is home to thousands of waterfowl and shorebirds, many of which are rare or endangered. It is also a stop off point for migrating godwits.. David Klee, Fish & Games southern game bird manager for the Auckland/Waikato region, says the situation is grim, with the botulism taking a toll on a wide range of species.. Some of the species we are finding dead are endangered ...

Wound Botulism -- California, 1995Wound Botulism -- California, 1995
During January-November 1995, a total of 19 laboratory-confirmed cases of wound botulism were reported to the California Department of Health Services (CDHS); of these, 13 had occurred since August. Since 1990, the number of wound botulism cases reported annually in California has increased steadily (one case in 1990, two in 1991, three in 1992, four in 1993, and 11 in 1994). All cases except one since 1991 have occurred in injecting-drug users, and many involved subcutaneous injection or skin popping of black tar heroin. This report summarizes the findings of the investigation of two cases. Case 1 On September 23, a 44-year-old male user of black tar heroin developed an abscess on his right arm, which was treated unsuccessfully with cephelexin and ciprofloxacin; on September 29, the abscess was incised and drained. On October 1, he was examined at a local emergency department (ED) because of slurred speech and was released. On October 3, he sought care in the ED of a community hospital in ...

Disease Outbreak Control Division | BotulismDisease Outbreak Control Division | Botulism
Infant botulism has a wide range of symptoms including constipation, poor feeding, week cry, sleepiness, breathing problems, and poor reflexes. These are all symptoms of muscle paralysis that is caused by the bacterial toxin. If left untreated, the symptoms may progress to paralysis and death. The symptoms of wound and foodborne botulism usually begin 12 to 36 hours after exposure to the botulinum toxin. However, the symptoms may occur as early as 6 hours or as late as 10 days to appear. The length of time for symptoms to appear in infants is unknown, because it is difficult to determine exactly when an infant was exposed to the bacterial toxin. If you or someone you know has symptoms suggestive of botulism, consult a healthcare provider or go to the emergency room ...

Background Botulism, an fatal neuroparalytic disease often, is caused by botulinum neurotoxins (BoNT) which consist of a family of seven serotypes (A-H) produced by the anaerobic bacterium and [2]. Hc functions by binding nerve cells and facilitates the internalization of the Lc, a zinc endopeptidase that cleaves SNARE (soluble N-ethylmaleimide sensitive factor attachment receptor) proteins. This action prevents the release of acetylcholine from the neuron into the neuromuscular junction, ultimately resulting in flaccid paralysis of the muscle [5], [6]. The three-dimensional structure of the BoNT/A holotoxin has been determined at 3.3 ? resolution [7]. In mice, Zanamivir an LD50 of 10 pg per organism was reported for BoNT/A when administered by inter-peritoneal injection [8]. Early studies estimated a minimum human lethal dose (LD100) of BoNT/A at 1 ng per kg body mass when administered via inter-peritoneal injection [9], but it has since been recognized that the route of toxin exposure is ...

Foodborne botulism is a severe, potentially fatal disease characterized by cranial nerve palsies and descending paralysis. Little is known about signs and symptoms predictive of death from botulism. We studied patients with botulism in the Republic of Georgia, which has the highest reported rate of foodborne botulism in the world. After abstracting medical records of patients with botulism who were hospitalized during 1980-2002, we performed classification-and-regression-tree analysis to identify clinical syndromes predictive of survival and death. We identified records for 706 patients hospitalized for foodborne botulism from 1980-2002. Trivalent antitoxin was administered to 623 patients (88%). Fifty-four (8%) died. Patients with shortness of breath and impaired gag reflex and without diarrhea were 23 times more likely to die than were patients without this syndrome. Validating this clinical prediction rule may help reduce mortality from botulism in Georgia. Validation in other settings could ...

The paper addresses the epidemiologic data of the death of pigs during the period of 2002 to 2009 following the ingestion of botulinum neurotoxin type C. This neurotoxin was present in food residues originating from restaurant and hotel kitchens, stored in barrels without shelter from the sun and administered in a collective trough without prior thermal treatment. Animals which died at different ages showed clinical signs of botulism characterized by flaccid paralysis, weight loss, anorexia, weakness, lack of coordination, locomotion difficulties with the evolution of lateral recumbency with involuntary urination and defecation. No alterations were observed at postmortem and histological examination. The bioassay with serum neutralization in mice was carried out on samples of intestinal contents from pigs affected and revealed the presence of large quantities of botulinum toxin type C ...

The paralysis and respiratory failure that occur with botulism may require a patient to be on a breathing machine (ventilator) for weeks, plus intensive medical and nursing care. The paralysis slow improves, usually over several weeks. If diagnosed early, foodborne and wound botulism can be treated with an antitoxin from horse serum which blocks the action of toxin circulating in the blood. This can prevent patients from worsening, but recovery still may take many weeks. ...

First lets get an overview of what botulism is. Botulism is an illness that causes varying degrees of paralysis in the body from a toxin produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. C. botulinum is practically everywhere - just about anything thats touched soil will contain spores. So why dont we get sick from it all the time? Most of the time this bacteria is dormant, and its only when conditions are right that it grows and makes this toxin. C. botulinum prefers an anaerobic (oxygen-free) environment thats not too acidic, not too salty, not too crowded with other bacteria, and it does especially well at warm temperatures. A unique characteristic of C. botulinum is its ability to survive high temperatures for relatively long periods of time ...

Fatal Botulism Outbreak in Azerbaijan Linked to Home Made Pickles - ScepticemiaFatal Botulism Outbreak in Azerbaijan Linked to Home Made Pickles - Scepticemia
Acidic food stuffs like tomatoes have traditionally been thought of as safe as far as the risk of botulism was concerned. However, an outbreak of six cases, one of whom died, in Azerbaijan, which has subsequently been linked to home made pickled tomatoes, has brought that conventional wisdom into question. More of this outbreak can be read on the Azer News article.. Botulism results from the presence of the botulinum toxin, which is a neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. Optimal storage conditions, clean and hygienic preparation and proper pH and salting is known to avoid the development of this bacterial toxin in pickled foods. Using pressure techniques to make pickles out of food matter with low acid content guards against the development of this toxin and using boiling or other conventional techniques maybe dangerous.. ...

Formula Products Contaminated with Clostridium Botulinum - FAQ What is Clostridium botulinum? C. botulinum is an anaerobic, gram-positive, spore-forming rod that commonly found in the soil. Although the toxin is destroyed by boiling for 10 minutes or longer; inactivation of spores requires much higher temperature. What is the cause of botulism? Foodborne botulism results from ingestion of preformed toxin present in contaminated foods. Since C. botulinum can only grow in the absence of oxygen, foodborne botulism occurs in products with low oxygen content (e.g. in airtight packaging) as well as with right combination of storage and preservative parameters. The bacterium will grow and produce toxin in these products which are then eaten without sufficient heating or post-production cooking to inactivate the toxin. This is the case in lightly preserved foods such as fermented, salted, or smoked fish and meat products and in inadequately processed home-canned or home-bottled low acid foods. On the ...

That’s because the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) still has not been able to account for every item that was included in the recall. Because there is a chance that some people still have recalled Castleberry’s products in their homes, consumers should check their pantries and dispose of any canned products covered by this summer’s Castleberry’s canned foods recall.. The Castleberry’s Food Company recall was initiated on July 18 after four cases of botulism poisoning were tied to Castleberry’s hot dog chili sauces. Tests had confirmed that two Texas children and an Indiana couple were suffering from botulism. All four of those victims had eaten one of Castleberry’s hot dog sauces.

The management of patients suspected of having botulism consists of both supportive measures and antitoxin administration. Management is also complicated by the absence of a timely diagnostic biological marker to confirm the diagnosis and the time sensitive nature of treatment implementation to prevent further progression of illness.. In general, patients should be admitted to an appropriate area of the hospital for continuous monitoring of respiratory and neurological function. There is a risk of progressive muscle weakness and subsequent respiratory failure. Objective measures such as negative inspiratory force, pulse oximetry, and end-tidal capnography are often used to determine need for intubation and ventilator support.. Activated charcoal is generally administered to patients, if no contraindications exist.

Storing herbs and garlic in oil for cooking may seem like a great pair for cooking and flavoring, but in fact, this can provide the perfect environment for the botulism toxin to survive and thrive. Herbs, garlic, and oil are all low-acid foods. Botulism can make low-acid foods unsafe to eat if they havent been properly stored or processed. Other low-acid foods include vegetables, meat, and mixtures of those two (spaghetti sauce with meat). All low-acid foods must be canned using a pressure canner to reach a safe temperature of 240 degrees F. Heating to that temperature for a specific amount of time (determined based on the food and size of the jar being used) will kill any botulism spores. There are currently NO recommendations to pressure can herbs, garlic, or oil mixtures. Cooking the garlic does not help prevent botulism either. Commercial prepared mixtures of herbs, garlic, and oil have strict procedures that arent available for home use. There is no safe way to prepare these at home. You cannot

BoNT is considered the most toxic biological toxin known. Because of its high toxicity, the need for a long recovery period requiring extensive treatment, and the ease of producing BoNT, it is considered a class A bioterrorism agent. The gold standard for detection of botulinum toxin is the mouse bioassay. In a previous report we described the development of a simple, non-rodent-based rapid detection based on newly developed monoclonal antibodies. This simple assay will detect BoNT at levels below the mouse bioassay. In this report we describe the location on the BoNT that are bound by one of the antibodies used in the above assay. This information extends our knowledge of the parameters controlling the immunoassay and improves our ability to design even better tests for toxin and predict assay ...

IKK-2 inhibitor VIII - Neurokinin receptors in recurrent airway obstructionIKK-2 inhibitor VIII - Neurokinin receptors in recurrent airway obstruction
Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNT) are a few of natures strongest poisons. neutralization potential of combinatorial and one BoNT/B mAbs in systemic and mouth types of botulism. The consequences of antibody medication dosage as well as the timing of neutralizing antibody administration had been examined. Increased understanding of the half-lives of poisons, improved detection strategies, as well as the id of efficacious neutralizing antibodies can help progress remedies for botulism. 2. Results and Discussion 2.1. Detection of BoNT/B Using Electrochemiluminescent (ECL) Immunoassay The platinum standard for detection of BoNTs utilizes the IKK-2 inhibitor VIII mouse bioassay. The mouse bioassay can detect BoNT/B levels of 25 pg/mL [13,20,23]. However, PIK3CG these assays require about 3C4 days for full confirmation. To improve detection level of sensitivity and rate, we have previously described the development of high affinity monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), MCS6-27 and BoB92-32, and their use in ELISA ...

CAES NEWSWIRE | Safer Honey.CAES NEWSWIRE | Safer Honey.
University of Georgia. For safetys sake, generations of babies have missed out on the sweet taste and healthy benefits of honey. But a new sterilization process may erase the risk and allow future toddlers to enjoy the sweet treat.. Honey isnt recommended for babies because their immune systems are not developed, said Romeo Toledo, a food scientist with the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences.. Spores can survive. The normal process for pasteurization of honey doesnt kill any (bacterial) spores present and could be a potential hazard for infant botulism, he said.. Eating honey poses no risk to adults with normal immune systems. But Clostridium botulinum spores found at very low levels in 5 percent to 10 percent of commercial honey samples can be deadly to infants.. For this reason, makers of childrens medicines like cough syrups normally use sugar and corn syrup instead of honey as sweeteners, Toledo said. Why is it so hard to kill the spores? Spores ...

Author summary The seven established Botulinum Neurotoxins serotypes (BoNT/A to G) and the many BoNT subtypes, the causative agents of botulism, are the most poisonous substances known (lethal doses in the low ng/kg range). Due to their toxicological properties, BoNTs are Janus-faced toxins: potent pathogenic factors and potential bioterrorism agents as well as safe and efficacious therapeutics. BoNTs exert their neuroparalytic action by cleaving SNARE proteins, either SNAP-25 or synaptobrevin/VAMP, which mediate neurotransmitter release at the neuromuscular junction; BoNT/C is the only serotype shown to cleave SNAP-25 and syntaxin-1 in vitro. Our study shows for the first time that this parallel cleavage also occurs in vivo. By using mutated toxins reported to be syntaxin-selective, we found that SNAP-25 proteolysis at the neuromuscular junction is the key determinant of BoNT/C lethality as it completely blocks nerve-muscle transmission. Conversely, syntaxin-1 cleavage only attenuates nerve terminal

Botulinum is relatively easy to produce and has extreme potency and lethality. It can be distributed via aerosol or by contamination of water and food supplies. A gram of Botulinum toxin can kill more than a million people if inhaled. A Japanese biological warfare group is known to have infected war prisoners with C botulinum toxins during the occupation of Manchuria.. Botulism is a serious muscle-paralysing disease caused by a nerve toxin produced by a bacterium called Clostridium botulinum. The bacteria are found naturally in forest soils, bottom sediments of lakes and streams and the intestinal tracts of some fish and animals. All four forms of botulisms (food borne, infant, wound and animal) induce illness through a common pathway causing muscle weakness, difficulty in speaking and swallowing, and double and blurred vision.. ...

Botox Testosterone is a neurotoxic protein created by the microorganisms Clostridium botulinum, as well as associated species. It blocks the launch of acetylcholine in the neuromuscular point through protecting against the acetylcholinesterase enzyme (SORENESS) from converting acetylcholinesterase to the natural chemical serotonin. The condition botulism is triggered by disease with the germs Clostridium.. The neurotoxin SORENESS is actually essential for the nerve signals to transmit, but when the nerves instincts are certainly not produced, the body will definitely try to rejuvenate the equilibrium by delivering various other signs or cells.

Honey- Wrinkle Prevention - Exceptionally NaturalHoney- Wrinkle Prevention - Exceptionally Natural
My mom told me of a friend she had visited who looked great, with few wrinkles, despite being the same age as her. She asked what her secret was. Her friend replied that she put honey on her face nightly.. So how can honey prevent wrinkles? I do have one theory. Honey contains spores of the botulism bacteria. Spores are dormant bacteria, kind of like bacteria that are hibernating until the right conditions allow them to wake up and become active. You might know Botulism as the reason we do not eat from dented cans, since when bacteria are active the cans puff up from bacteria releasing gas. This happens when they are not killed properly in the canning process. The bacteria then produce a toxin that makes the muscles stop working (they over-relax) if food with the toxin is ingested. The first signs are weakness, then if not treated, the muscles that expand and contract the lungs stop working. This leads to death.. We can eat honey because only the spores exist in it. The bacteria are dormant, so ...

It would be almost completely inaccurate to compare the 18th century British mercantile economy to the free market capitalism we are currently dismantling. The original Tea Party was a protest aimed at the crown in two ways. The East India Tea Company operated under a crown monopoly that prevented the operation of other tea companies...a license purchased from the Crown. Then the King tries to double dip by taxing the colonists for said tea, already overpriced by monopoly. Id want to throw it in the harbor and switch to coffee myself. It wasnt merely a tax protest, but also a big middle finger to government monopolies. We are now seeing a return to that form of economy.

Toxins | Free Full-Text | Sheep Monoclonal Antibodies Prevent Systemic Effects of Botulinum Neurotoxin A1Toxins | Free Full-Text | Sheep Monoclonal Antibodies Prevent Systemic Effects of Botulinum Neurotoxin A1
Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) is responsible for causing botulism, a potentially fatal disease characterized by paralysis of skeletal muscle. Existing specific treatments include polyclonal antisera derived from immunized humans or horses. Both preparations have similar drawbacks, including limited supply, risk of adverse effects and batch to batch variation. Here, we describe a panel of six highly protective sheep monoclonal antibodies (SMAbs) derived from sheep immunized with BoNT/A1 toxoid (SMAbs 2G11, 4F7) or BoNT/A1 heavy chain C-terminus (HcC) (SMAbs 1G4, 5E2, 5F7, 16F9) with or without subsequent challenge immunization with BoNT/A1 toxin. Although each SMAb bound BoNT/A1 toxin, differences in specificity for native and recombinant constituents of BoNT/A1 were observed. Structural differences were suggested by pI (5E2 = 8.2; 2G11 = 7.1; 4F7 = 8.8; 1G4 = 7.4; 5F7 = 8.0; 16F9 = 5.1).

Botulinum NeuroToxin (BoNT) causes a potentially fatal disease called botulism. With an estimated LD50 of 1 ng/kg body weight, the family of BoNT serotypes, subdivided into more than 40 subtypes, are the most toxic naturally occurring substances known. The most widely accepted method for BoNT detection is the Mouse Lethality Bioassay (MLB) which has a sensitivity of 10-100 pg/mL. However, respiratory failure is the end point, large numbers of mice are required for serotyping and quantitation (, 100 per sample), and it has variable sensitivity and long readout times of 1-4 days. The purpose of the Botulinum NeuroToxin BLD-Test Performance Study is to validate a recently developed molecular-based BoNT assay so that it may be successfully adapted to replace the MLB for detecting and distinguishing the disease causing serotypes in a range of matrices (e.g. food, beverage, environmental, and human and animal samples collected for diagnostic purposes).
