The purpose of this study was to compare and test the efficiency of the leading kinds of media being used for the isolation and identification
of Clostridium botulinum type E strains, and to develop a
more reliable method and media for the differentiation of this organism
based on the "pearly...
There are six types of Cl. botulinum (Types A, B, C, D, E,
and F). The differentiation between these types is based upon the
antigenic structure of the toxin. Many strains of these various types
have been isolated. In addition, a number of nontoxigenic "type Elike"
strains have come to...
Achromobacter A43 produced a compound inhibitory to the outgrowth
of Clostridium botulinum type E spores. The inhibitor could
be produced in various laboratory media and the outgrowth of germinated
spores was completely inhibited by 1/10th dilution of the A43
spent medium. Germination was not affected. The spores lost
refractility in...
