Clostridium botulinum is a pathogen of concern for low-acid canned foods. Here we report draft genomes of a neurotoxin-producing C. botulinum strain isolated from water samples used for cooling low-acid canned foods at a canning facility. The genome sequence confirmed that this strain belonged to C. botulinum serotype B1, albeit with major differences, including thousands of unique single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) compared to other genomes of the same serotype.
肉毒梭菌是低酸罐装食品中令人担忧的一种病原体。在此,我们报告了从一家罐头厂用于冷却低酸罐装食品的水样中分离出的一株产神经毒素肉毒梭菌菌株的基因组草图。基因组序列证实该菌株属于肉毒梭菌B1型,不过存在一些主要差异,包括与同一血清型的其他基因组相比有数千个独特的单核苷酸多态性(SNP)。
