The case was caused by a type B strain of\n            <jats:italic>Clostridium botulinum<\/jats:italic>\n            . Strains of\n            <jats:italic>C. botulinum<\/jats:italic>\n            were isolated from the baby's feces and from foodstuffs in the household in an attempt to document transmission. The aims of this study were to characterize the strains of\n            <jats:italic>C. botulinum<\/jats:italic>\n            associated with the botulism case. This was performed using a variety of techniques, including\n            <jats:italic>C. botulinum<\/jats:italic>\n            culture phenotypic properties, neurotoxin characterization, and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) banding patterns. Cultures associated with this case as well as isolates from stored and historical samples were analyzed and compared.\n            <jats:italic>C. botulinum<\/jats:italic>\n            type B PFGE patterns from the infant and from an opened container of infant formula were indistinguishable, while the PFGE profile of a strain presumably isolated from an unopened archival container was unique. The results suggest that the unopened brand of formula was not the source for transmission of spores to the infant and that the strain was distinct from previous botulism cases in the United Kingdom. Since environmental testing was not performed, it is not possible to deduce other sources of transmission.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1128\/jcm.43.6.2602-2607.2005","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,6,15]],"date-time":"2005-06-15T00:53:18Z","timestamp":1118796798000},"page":"2602-2607","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":66,"title":["Characterization of\n            <i>Clostridium botulinum<\/i>\n            Strains Associated with an Infant Botulism Case in the United Kingdom"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"43","author":[{"given":"Eric A.","family":"Johnson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Food Microbiology and Toxicology, Food Research Institute, University of Wisconsin, 1925 Willow Drive, Madison, Wisconsin 53706-1187"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"William H.","family":"Tepp","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Food Microbiology and Toxicology, Food Research Institute, University of Wisconsin, 1925 Willow Drive, Madison, Wisconsin 53706-1187"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marite","family":"Bradshaw","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Food Microbiology and Toxicology, Food Research Institute, University of Wisconsin, 1925 Willow Drive, Madison, Wisconsin 53706-1187"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Richard J.","family":"Gilbert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Carpenders Close, Harpenden, Herts AL5 3HN United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paul E.","family":"Cook","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Foodborne Diseases Branch, Microbiological Safety Division, Food Standards Agency, Aviation House, 125 Kingsway, London WC2B 6NH, United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"E.
