Clostridium botulinum Type A B detection kits

Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) are the most toxic agents known. These toxins are responsible for botulism, a disease characterized by flaccid paralysis. Seven antigenically distinct BoNTs are known (types A to G), and BoNT types A, B, E, and F are the principal types associated with human botulism. High fecal carriage rates of C. botulinum among apparently healthy dairy animals especially type A alarm both veterinary and public health communities for a potential role which may be played by dairy animals in the epidemiology of such pathogen.
