Abstract

This study reports a botulism outbreak on a pig farm. Clostridium botulinum type C was detected using PCR. The gene encoding the toxin corresponds to a novel type C neurotoxin recently described in a human botulism outbreak, raising the question of its prevalence in pigs and the related risks to humans.

一个养猪场爆发肉毒中毒事件，病原体是新发现的 C 型肉毒梭状芽孢杆菌。

本研究报告了一个养猪场爆发的肉毒中毒事件。通过 PCR 检测到了 C 型肉毒梭菌。编码该毒素的基因与最近在一起人类肉毒中毒疫情中描述的新型 C 型神经毒素相对应，这就提出了该毒素在猪中的流行程度以及对人类的相关风险问题。

期刊介绍： Anaerobe is essential reading for those who wish to remain at the forefront of discoveries relating to life processes of strictly anaerobes. The journal is multi-disciplinary, and provides a unique forum for those investigating anaerobic organisms that cause infections in humans and animals, as well as anaerobes that play roles in microbiomes or environmental processes. Anaerobe publishes reviews, mini reviews, original research articles, notes and case reports. Relevant topics fall into the broad categories of anaerobes in human and animal diseases, anaerobes in the microbiome, anaerobes in the environment, diagnosis of anaerobes in clinical microbiology laboratories, molecular biology, genetics, pathogenesis, toxins and antibiotic susceptibility of anaerobic bacteria.
