Botulism is a potentially fatal disease caused by the ingestion of a potent neurotoxin produced during the growth of the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. This neurotoxin is among the most toxic substances known—even microscopic amounts can cause illness or death.
Symptoms of botulism typically appear between 12 and 36 hours after consuming food contaminated by the neurotoxin, although documented cases have ranged from 4 hours to 8 days.
The BioPerfectus Clostridium botulinum Real-Time PCR Kit is an in vitro diagnostic test based on real-time PCR technology, intended for the detection of Clostridium botulinum DNA. Samples can be obtained from human feces.
