The apparent causative organism from the only reported case of type E infant botulism was isolated and characterized. Except for its ability to produce type E botulinal toxin, this organism (strain 5262) would be unquestionably identified as Clostridium butyricum. This is the second time an organism resembling a defined Clostridium species other than a member of the C. botulinum group has been implicated in infant botulism.
从唯一一例已报告的E型婴儿肉毒中毒病例中分离并鉴定出了明显的致病微生物。除了产生E型肉毒毒素的能力外,这种微生物(菌株5262)无疑会被鉴定为丁酸梭菌。这是第二次发现一种类似于肉毒梭菌属特定菌种(而非肉毒杆菌群成员)的微生物与婴儿肉毒中毒有关。
