A genomic and proteomic investigation into the Clostridium botulinum neurotoxin complex

2014-01-01

Abstract excerpt

<i>Clostridium botulinum</i> and some strains of C. <i>baratii</i> and C. <i>butyricum</i> produce one of the most potent toxins known to man, botulinum neurotoxin, and are responsible for the disease botulism. This severe neuroparalytic disease is the result of botulinum neurotoxin negotiating a complex path to the cholinergic nerve endings. There, it interferes with the release of excitatory neurotransmitters re...
