   http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dbmd/diseaseinfo/botulism_g.htm
   
   Extractions: Botulism is a rare but serious paralytic illness caused by a nerve toxin that is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum . There are three main kinds of botulism. Foodborne botulism is caused by eating foods that contain the botulism toxin. Wound botulism is caused by toxin produced from a wound infected with Clostridium botulinum . Infant botulism is caused by consuming the spores of the botulinum bacteria, which then grow in the intestines and release toxin. All forms of botulism can be fatal and are considered medical emergencies. Foodborne botulism can be especially dangerous because many people can be poisoned by eating a contaminated food. What kind of germ is Clostridium botulinum Clostridium botulinum is the name of a group of bacteria commonly found in soil. These rod-shaped organisms grow best in low oxygen conditions. The bacteria form spores which allow them to survive in a dormant state until exposed to conditions that can support their growth. There are seven types of botulism toxin designated by the letters A through G; only types A, B, E and F cause illness in humans.

   Extractions: Clostridium botulinum Clostridium botulinum is an anaerobic, Gram-positive, spore-forming rod that produces a potent neurotoxin. The spores are heat-resistant and can survive in foods that are incorrectly or minimally processed. Seven types (A, B, C, D, E, F and G) of botulism are recognized, based on the antigenic specificity of the toxin produced by each strain. Types A, B, E and F cause human botulism. Types C and D cause most cases of botulism in animals. Animals most commonly affected are wild fowl and poultry, cattle, horses and some species of fish. Although type G has been isolated from soil in Argentina, no outbreaks involving it have been recognized. The organism and its spores are widely distributed in nature. They occur in both cultivated and forest soils, bottom sediments of streams, lakes, and coastal waters, and in the intestinal tracts of fish and mammals, and in the gills and viscera of crabs and other shellfish. 2.

Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Clostridium is found in soil and untreated water throughout the world. It produces spores that survive in improperly preserved or canned food, where they produce toxin. When eaten, even minute amounts of this toxin can lead to severe poisoning. The foods most commonly contaminated are home-canned vegetables, cured pork and ham, smoked or raw fish, and honey or corn syrup. Botulism may also occur if the organism enters open wounds and produces toxin there.

    Extractions: PIDL Home/ Contents Development Nutrition Acute Illness ... Psychosocial Neurology INFANT BOTULISM Botulism is an acute descending flaccid paralysis that results from ingestion or absorption of the neurotoxin from Clostridium botulinum that blocks the neuromuscular transmission. Three clinical variants are recognized; food poisoning from ingestion of contaminated canned food, mainly home processed foods, the most important food vehicles are vegetable, fish, fruits and condiments. Wound botulism from a contaminant local infection. Infant botulism is the most common variant and the most recently recognized (1976). Seven immunologic types of C-botulism have been identified, designated A through G, each elaborating an immunologically distinct toxin. Almost all human botulism have resulted from ingestion of toxins A,B and E, the latter usually associated with fish and marine mammal products. Recently, a case of infant botulism with clostridium botulinum type C has been described. The illness in infants is caused by the release of toxin produced in the intestinal tract by clostridium botulinum as opposed to classic botulism, which is caused by absorbed preformed toxins from the intestine or an infected wound. The toxin binds irreversibly to the synaptic membrane of cholinergic nerves and subsequently prevents the release of acetylcholine. The autonomic nervous system dysfunction occurs first followed by motor weakness. Recovery occurs when sufficient new, toxin free receptors are available at the neuromuscular junction. Because the toxins bind at all ganglionic and postganglionic parasympathetic synapses, the typical signs consist of weakness in the distribution of both peripheral and cranial nerves, constipation and autonomic instability.

Botulism occurs in three forms: foodborne, wound, and infant botulism. Etiology and Pathophysiology The sporulating, anaerobic gram-positive bacillus C. botulinum elaborates seven types of antigenically distinct neurotoxins, four of which affect humanstype A, B, or E toxin or rarely type F toxin. Type A and B toxins are highly poisonous proteins resistant to digestion by GI enzymes. Approximately 50% of foodborne outbreaks in the USA are caused by type A toxin, followed by types B and E. Type A toxin occurs predominantly west of the Mississippi River, type B in the eastern states, and type E in Alaska and the Great Lakes area. In foodborne botulism, toxin produced in contaminated food is eaten; in wound and infant botulism, neurotoxin is elaborated in vivo by C. botulinum

    Extractions: Anthrax Botulinum Toxin Plague Smallpox ... VHF Botulinum Toxin Fact Sheet Info Botulinum toxin poses a major bioweapons threat because of its extreme potency and lethality; its ease of production, transport and misuse; and the potential need for prolonged intensive care in affected persons. Botulinum toxin is the single most poisonous substance known. A number of states named by the U.S. State Department as "state sponsors of terrorism" have developed or are developing botulinum toxin as a biological weapon. Aum Shinrikyo tried but failed to use botulinum toxin as a biological weapon. Botulinum toxin is derived from the genus of anaerobic bacteria named Clostridia . Seven antigenic types of botulinum toxin exist, designated from A through G. They can be identified based on antibody cross reactivity studies - i.e., anti-A toxin antibodies do not neutralize the B through G toxins. Naturally occurring botulism is the disease that results from the absorption of botulinum toxin into the circulation from a mucosal surface (gut, lung) or a wound. It does not penetrate intact skin. The toxin irreversibly binds to peripheral cholinergic synapses, preventing the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine from the terminal end of motor neurons. This leads to muscle paralysis, and in severe cases, can lead to a need for mechanical respiration. The incubation period for food-borne botulism can be from 2 hours to 8 days after ingestion, depending on the dose of the bacteria or the toxin. The average incubation period is 12-72 hours after ingestion. Patients with botulism typically present with difficulty speaking, seeing and/or swallowing. Prominent neurologic findings in all forms of botulism include ptsosis, diplopia, blurred vision, dysarthria and dysphagia. Patients typically are afebrile and do not have an altered level of consciousness. Patients may initially present with gastrointestinal distress, nausea, and vomiting preceding neurological symptoms. Symptoms are similar for all toxin types, but the severity of illness can vary widely, in part depending on the amount of toxin absorbed. Recovery from paralysis can take from weeks to months and requires the growth of new motor nerve endings.
