Type F botulism occurs rarely in clinical cases. Two cases of type F botulism in elderly patients that were clustered in time and space are described. Clostridium baratii producing type F botulinum neurotoxin was isolated from both patients; molecular typing of these isolates revealed that they were unrelated strains.
F型肉毒中毒在临床病例中很少见。本文描述了两例老年患者发生的F型肉毒中毒病例,这两例病例在时间和空间上具有聚集性。从两名患者身上均分离出产生F型肉毒杆菌神经毒素的巴氏梭菌;对这些分离株进行分子分型显示它们是无关菌株。
