Identification of a botulinum neurotoxin-like gene cluster in <i>Bacillus toyonensis</i>

2023-07-25

Abstract excerpt

Clostridial neurotoxins, which include botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) and tetanus neurotoxin (TeNT) are the most potent toxins known, and are the causative agents of the neuroparalytic diseases, botulism and tetanus. Until recently, the clostridial neurotoxin family was restricted to the genus Clostridium , but members of this protein family have been found in a growing number of non- Clostridium species includin...
