Exploring the genetic background of the botulism neurotoxin BoNT/B2 in Spain

ABSTRACT To determine whether the neurotoxin BoNT/B2 causing botulism in Spain is clonal, the genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships of Clostridium botulinum from food-borne episodes and infant cases of the condition were explored. The botulinum toxin gene (bont) subtype, the variable regi...
