Genomic Diversity, Competition, and Toxin Production by Group I and II <i>Clostridium botulinum</i> Strains Used in Food Challenge Studies

Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) produced by the bacteria <i>Clostridium botulinum</i> are the causative agent of human and animal botulism, a rare but serious and potentially deadly intoxication. Foodborne botulism is caused by the consumption of foods containing BoNTs, which results from...
