Tracing Foodborne Botulism Events Caused by Clostridium botulinum in Xinjiang Province, China, Using a Core Genome Sequence Typing Scheme

ABSTRACT Foodborne botulism is a rare but life-threatening illness resulting from the action of a potent toxin mainly produced by Clostridium botulinum. It grows in an oxygen-deficient environment and is extremely viable in meat and soy products, making it one of the most virulent bacteria. How to t...
