1. Indications and Usage for BAT Botulism Antitoxin BAT [Botulism Antitoxin Heptavalent (A, B, C, D, E, F, G) – (Equine)] is a mixture of immune globulin fragments indicated for the treatment of symptomatic botulism following documented or suspected exposure to botulinum neurotoxin serotypes...
If possible this should be done after the administration of antitoxin as the surgical procedure is likely to release additional toxin into the bloodstream. Antibiotic therapy is at times also necessary. However, aminoglycoside agents can potentiate the effects of botulinum toxin and should be avoided ...
It's treated by supporting breathing if necessary, and urgently administering abotox antitoxin, which binds to the toxin, preventing it from attaching to nerve cells in the body. Usually patients recover, although in some cases they may need to be in hospital for months, and sometimes symptoms ...
orstool. This is done by injecting the patient's serum or stool into the peritonealcavityof mice. An equal amount of serum or stool from the patient is treated with multivalent antitoxin and injected into other mice. If the antitoxin-treated serum- or stool-injected mice live while those inj...

Accordingly, administration of antitoxin to sympto- matic patients has reduced ability to prevent respiratory paralysis. Indeed, approximately 70% of botulism cases require mechanical ventilation when antitoxin is admin- istered more than 48 h after symptoms appear (Richard- son 2019; Yu et al...

Neutralizing antibody titers are defined as the maximum number of IU of antitoxin per ml of serum, resulting in 100% survival after challenge, where one IU of botulinum neurotoxin antitoxin neutralizes 10,000×MLD50 neurotoxin (Byrne et al., “Purification, Potency, and Efficacy of the Botulinum...
