Independent evolution of neurotoxin and flagellar genetic loci in proteolytic Clostridium botulinum
BACKGROUND: Proteolytic Clostridium botulinum is the causative agent of botulism, a severe neuroparalytic illness. Given the severity of botulism, surprisingly little is known of the population structure, biology, phylogeny or evolution of C. botulinum. The recent determination of the genome sequenc...
