Ancient Clostridium DNA and variants of tetanus neurotoxins associated with human archaeological remains

6 Sept 2023

Abstract excerpt

The analysis of microbial genomes from human archaeological samples offers a historic snapshot of ancient pathogens and provides insights into the origins of modern infectious diseases. Here, we analyze metagenomic datasets from 38 human archaeological samples and identify bacterial genomic sequences related to modern-day Clostridium tetani, which produces the tetanus neurotoxin (TeNT) and causes the disease...
