Characterization of six type A strains of Clostridium botulinum that contain type B toxin gene sequences.

Nameer Kirma1, Joseph L Ferreira, Barbara R Baumstark.   

Abstract

Six Clostridium botulinum isolates exhibiting type A toxicity as measured by the mouse bioassay were found to contain both type A and type B neurotoxin DNA sequences. The six strains were divided into three groups based on the DNA sequence of the type B neurotoxin gene. Members of each group exhibited 100% sequence identity over the 3876 bp type B toxin open reading frame. The type B toxin sequence of all groups differed at more than 60 positions when compared to the BGB control strain.
