“…The number of fishes gradually increased, and several fishes died with a peak of mortality in the summer of 2017, creating a great amount of decaying organic material and the optimal conditions for Clostridium botulinum growth and toxin production. A botulism outbreak then occurred rapidly and was characterised by flaccid paralysis and sudden mortality of the birds. …”

“…Interspecies specificity was 100% based on six common intestinal pathogens (Escherichia coli, Enterococcus Faecium, Enterococcus faecalis, Clostridium perfringens, Bacteroides fragilis, Clostridium botulinum). The lower detection limit (LDL) for tcdA, tcdB, and cdtB with pure C. difficile DNA was 10(1),10(0), and 10(0) copies/μL, respectively, the coefficients of variation among different experimental batches and within each experimental batch were both less than 3%, which shows that this method has strong repeatability. …”

“…However, other pathogens, such as Vibrio spp., some species of Aeromonas, spores of Clostridium botulinum type F, and Campylobacter, have been linked to food-borne diseases in humans who have consumed seafood or other animal foods (Maneilla-Becerra et al., 2019). …”

“…INTRODUCTION: Although a somewhat rare disease, infant botulism is a true pediatric emergency that carried a 90% rate of mortality prior to the development of an antitoxin.1 While botulism infections can be iatrogenic, foodborne, or involve infected wounds, infant botulism remains the most common presentation of this disease and accounts for approximately 70% of new cases annually.2 Caused by Clostridium botulinum, the inactive spores are ingested by the infant and germinate in the large intestine.3,4 The resulting neurotoxin prevents the release of acetylcholine at the presynaptic membrane which results in flaccid paralysis. …”
