Looking for the X Factor in Bacterial Pathogenesis: Association of <i>orfX</i>-<i>p47</i> Gene Clusters with Toxin Genes in Clostridial and Non-Clostridial Bacterial Species

The botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) has been extensively researched over the years in regard to its structure, mode of action, and applications. Nevertheless, the biological roles of four proteins encoded from a number of BoNT gene clusters, i.e., OrfX1-3 and P47, are unknown. Here, we investigated the...
