Isolation of an organism resembling Clostridium barati which produces type F botulinal toxin from an infant with botulism.

Hall JD, McCroskey LM, Pincomb BJ, Hatheway CL.

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.
