Application of high-density DNA resequencing microarray for detection and characterization of botulinum neurotoxin-producing clostridia.

Application of high-density DNA resequencing microarray for detection and characterization of botulinum neurotoxin-producing clostridia.

Clostridium botulinum and related clostridia express extremely potent toxins known as botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) that cause severe, potentially lethal intoxications in humans. These BoNT-producing bacteria are categorized in seven major toxinotypes (A through G) and several subtypes. The high div...
