Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) are potent bacterial toxins mostly produced by genetically diverse clostridial strains. Recently, BoNT variants have been reported in non-clostridial strains. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Zhang et al. (2018) describe a novel BoNT in Entecoccus faecium.
肉毒神经毒素(BoNTs)是由遗传上多样化的梭菌菌株产生的强效细菌毒素。最近,在非梭菌菌株中也报道了 BoNT 变体。在本期《Cell Host & Microbe》中,Zhang 等人(2018)描述了粪肠球菌中的一种新型 BoNT。
