Comparative pathogenomics of Clostridium tetani.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2017

Cohen Jonathan E, Wang Rong, Shen Rong-Fong, Wu Wells W, Keller James E

Abstract excerpt

Clostridium tetani and Clostridium botulinum produce two of the most potent neurotoxins known, tetanus neurotoxin and botulinum neurotoxin, respectively. Extensive biochemical and genetic investigation has been devoted to identifying and characterizing various C. botulinum strains. Less effort has been focused on studying C. tetani likely because recently sequenced strains of C. tetani show much less genetic...
