Abstract:
INTRODUCTION. The outbreak of foodborne botulism that occurred in Russia in June 2024 once again demonstrated the danger of this rather rare but severe infectious disease caused by ingesting botulinum neurotoxin. The only aetiological treatment for botulism is currently the administration of antitoxins against various serotypes of botulinum toxin. However, antitoxins do not provide rapid regression of neurological symptoms, which may raise doubts about the effectiveness of the selected treatment option. It is impossible to assess the potential of specific treatment without understanding the me

Abstract:
Botulism is a paralytic disease caused by botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs). Equine antitoxin is currently the standard therapy for botulism in human. The preparation of equine antitoxin relies on the immunization of horses with botulinum toxoid, which suffers from low yield and safety limitations. The Hc fragment of BoNTs was suggested to be a potent antibotulinum subunit vaccine. The current study presents a comparative evaluation of equine-based toxoid-derived antitoxin (TDA) and subunit-derived antitoxin (SDA). The potency of recombinant Hc/A, Hc/B, and Hc/E in mice was similar to that of toxo

Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To provide a concise review of the presentation and treatment of botulism. DATA SOURCES Searches of MEDLINE (1966–November 2001), tertiary references, and public and government Internet sites were conducted. STUDY SELECTION All articles and additional references from those articles were thoroughly evaluated. DATA SYNTHESIS Clostridium botulinum toxin blocks acetylcholine release in a dose-dependent fashion, resulting in acute symmetric diplopia, dysarthria, dysphonia, dysphagia, and possible neurologic sequelae despite the route of exposure (i.e., food-borne, wound, intestinal, inhal

Abstract:
ABSTRACTBotulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs), the most poisonous substances known in nature, pose significant concern to health authorities. The only approved therapeutic for botulism is antitoxin. While administered to patients only after symptom onset, antitoxin efficacy is evaluated in animals mostly in relation to time postintoxication regardless of symptoms. This is most likely due to the difficulty in measuring early symptoms of botulism in animals. In this study, a rabbit spirometry model was developed to quantify early respiratory symptoms of type E botulism that were further used as a trigge

Abstract:
The incidence of wound botulism in injection drug users has increased since the introduction of black tar heroin. Many species of the Clostridium genus, most commonly Clostridium botulinum, Clostridium baratii, and Clostridium butyricum, have been associated with wound botulism. Patients often present with progressive bulbar weakness, including dysphagia, cranial nerve palsies, and loss of speech, in addition to symmetrical descending weakness of the upper extremities that may progress to the chest and lower extremities.

Abstract:
Botulism, caused by exposure to the botulinum toxin, is characterized by a symmetric, flaccid, and descending paralysis. There are four naturally occurring forms of botulism—foodborne botulism, infant botulism, adult intestinal botulism, and wound botulism—and two forms that require intentional manipulation of the toxin by humans: inhalational and iatrogenic botulism. All six forms are rare. The treatment for botulism is botulinum antitoxin: an equine-derived formulation for adults and a human-source formulation for infants. Even more important than early antitoxin delivery is early diagnosis
