1878, from German Botulismus (1878), coined in German from Latin botulus "sausage" (see bowel) + -ismus suffix of action or state (see -ism). Sickness first traced to eating tainted sausage [..]

Poisoning from poorly preserved food contaminated with a dangerous bacterial toxin that results in paralysis

A food-borne illness caused by toxin (called botlinus toxin or botulin).  

Acute food poisoning caused by eating toxin produced by growth Clostridium Botulinum bacteria in moist, low-acid food, containing less than 2% oxygen and stored between 40 degrees and 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Proper heat processing destroys this bacterium in canned food. Freezer temperatures inhibit its growth in frozen food. Low moisture controls i [..]

(n) food poisoning from ingesting botulin; not infectious; affects the CNS; can be fatal if not treated promptly

An extremely dangerous form of food poisoning caused by the toxin of Clostridium botulinum.

A Disease caused by potent protein Neurotoxins produced by Clostridium botulinum which interfere with the presynaptic release of Acetylcholine at the Neuromuscular Junction. Clinical features include [..]

A disease caused by potent protein NEUROTOXINS produced by CLOSTRIDIUM BOTULINUM which interfere with the presynaptic release of ACETYLCHOLINE at the NEUROMUSCULAR JUNCTION. Clinical features include [..]

Infection caused by ingesting food or dead flesh containing toxins produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum

An illness caused by eating toxin produced by growth of Clostridium Botulinum bacteria in moist, low-acid food, containing less than 2 percent oxygen and stored between 40 degrees and 120 degrees Fahr [..]

Botulism is a muscle-paralyzing disease caused by botulinum toxin, a potent neurotoxin produced mainly by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum and also by a few strains of C. baratii and C. butyricum. Clostridium botulinum is an anaerobic (can only grow under anaerobic conditions) bacterium that usually grows when the pH of the growing medium is gre [..]

An uncommon but potentially very serious illness, it is a type of food poisoning that produces paralysis of muscles via the nerve toxin botulinum (botox), which in turn is manufactured by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum.

This is a severe, serious and sometimes fatal form of poisoning caused by a type of bacteria known as Clostridium botulin. It can be contracted from ingesting affected food, wound contamination and can also be found in the soil. It affects the central nervous system and is typified by a range of symptoms including nausea, vomiting, disturbed vision [..]

A rare but serious form of food poisoning caused by the nerve toxin botulinum. This toxin is produced by the clostridium botulinum

This is a severe, serious and sometimes fatal form of poisoning caused by a type of bacteria known as Clostridium botulin. It can be contracted from ingesting affected food, wound contamination and ca [..]

A type of food poisoning caused by meats that are not kept at proper and safe temperatures.

Botulism is caused by botulinum toxin, a poison produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. The organism is common in the soil and can survive in this environment as a resistant spore. There are [..]
