An outbreak of botulism on a pig farm due to the newly described Clostridium botulinum type C

This study reports a botulism outbreak on a pig farm. Clostridium botulinum type C was detected using PCR. The gene encoding the toxin corresponds to a novel type C neurotoxin recently described in a human botulism outbreak, raising the question of its prevalence in pigs and the related risks to hum...

Zusammenfassung:	This study reports a botulism outbreak on a pig farm. Clostridium botulinum type C was detected using PCR. The gene encoding the toxin corresponds to a novel type C neurotoxin recently described in a human botulism outbreak, raising the question of its prevalence in pigs and the related risks to humans. •Detection of a botulism outbreak in a pig farm.•Detection of the newly described Clostridium botulinum type C.•Detection of this new C. botulinum C only twice in the lab collection.
