Case report: Aberrant fecal microbiota composition of an infant diagnosed with prolonged intestinal botulism
ConclusionThis study brings novel insights into the infant fecal composition associated with intestinal botulism and provides a basis for a more systematic analysis of the gut microbiota of infants diagnosed with botulism. A better understanding of the gut microbial ecology associated with infant botulism may support the development of prophylactic strategies against this life-threatening disease in small babies.

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA 41-year-old man developed rapidly progressive cranial neuropathies and muscle weakness followed by respiratory failure, requiring ventilation support. On examination, there was marked bilateral ptosis and ophthalmoplegia with bulbar, neck and proximal upper limb weakness. He had a recent open left humeral fracture that eventually required amputation. Despite immunoglobulin therapy, his progressive weakness continued. Multiple investigation results were inconclusive. Eventually, botulinum type A toxin was found positive, b...

Non-invasive diagnosis of diaphragmatic paralysis in botulism using ultrasound
This study underscores botulism's life-threatening nature and the vital role of supportive care. Diaphragmatic ultrasound is a safe and effective method for assessing diaphragmatic function in such cases, obviating ionizing radiation exposure. We recommend its routine use for evaluating botulism-induced paralysis.PMID:38216093 | DOI:10.1016/j.toxicon.2024.107609 (Source: Toxicon)

An outbreak of type C botulism in free-ranging Southern lapwing (Vanellus chilensis)
AbstractIn the fall of 2021, a significant mortality event in free-ranging Southern Lapwing (Vanellus chilensis) occurred on a soccer field in southern Brazil. Approximately 130 adult southern lapwings died after showing weakness and flaccid paralysis, characterized by the inability to move or fly and drooped wings. Due to the large number of animals affected, there was concern that they had been criminally poisoned. The affected birds were found to have ingested maggots in fresh poultry litter incorporated into the grass surface.Postmortem examinations of four southern lapwings revealed no significant gross and histologic...

Foodborne botulism outbreak involving different nationalities during the Rugby World Cup: critical role of credit card data and rapid international cooperation, France, September 2023

The cases were from seven countries. One death was recorded. Outbreak investigation using credit card data, rapid communication between health authorities of the affected countries and broad media communication allowed identification of cases and exposed persons and prevented further severe outcomes.PMID:37997664 | PMC:PMC10668258 | DOI:10.2807/1560-...
