All reported cases of infant botulism except one have been caused by proteolytic strains (group I) of Clostridium botulinum, toxin types A or B. We describe the cultural and biochemical characteristics of the causative organism of this singular case of infant botulism, caused by type F botulinal toxin. Although this organism produces type F botulinal toxin, it is quite different from proteolytic (group I) C. botulinum, being more closely related to Clostridium barati.
除1例之外,所有已报告的婴儿肉毒中毒病例均由肉毒梭菌的蛋白水解菌株(I组)引起,毒素类型为A或B。我们描述了这例由F型肉毒毒素引起的婴儿肉毒中毒罕见病例的病原体的培养和生化特征。尽管该病原体产生F型肉毒毒素,但它与蛋白水解性(I组)肉毒梭菌有很大不同,与巴氏梭菌的关系更为密切。
