  • Title: Isolation of an organism resembling Clostridium barati which produces type F botulinal toxin from an infant with botulism.
    Author: Hall JD, McCroskey LM, Pincomb BJ, Hatheway CL.
    Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 1985 Apr; 21(4):654-5. PubMed ID: 3988908.
    Abstract:
    All reported cases of infant botulism except one have been caused by proteolytic strains (group I) of Clostridium botulinum, toxin types A or B. We describe the cultural and biochemical characteristics of the causative organism of this singular case of infant botulism, caused by type F botulinal toxin. Although this organism produces type F botulinal toxin, it is quite different from proteolytic (group I) C. botulinum, being more closely related to Clostridium barati.
