Ancient <i>Clostridium</i> DNA and variants of tetanus neurotoxins associated with human archaeological remains

2022-06-30

Abstract excerpt

<h4>SUMMARY</h4> 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, through a large-scale metagenomic analysis of archeological samples, we discovered bacterial species related to modern-day Clostridium tetani , which produces the tetanus neurotoxin (TeNT) and causes the di...
