Foodborne Illnesses/Botulism/ Botulism is a life-threatening paralytic illness caused by neurotoxins produced by an anaerobic, gram-positive, spore-forming bacterium—Clostridium botulinum. Botulism is a rare disease and only affects a few hundred persons each year in the United States. The vast major...
Clostridium botulinumis a gram-positive, rod-shaped, bacterium that can be found nearly everywhere in soils. It grows best in anaerobic (low or no oxygen) environments, andC. botulinumforms spores (i.e., a dormant or sleeping state) that can withstand boiling temperatures, making it hard to...
