Genome sequencing of Clostridium botulinum isolates
The increasing availability of C. botulinum genome sequences is starting to allow the genomic diversity of C. botulinum Groups I, II and III to be characterised. This information will impact on microbiological food safety through improved surveillance and tracing/tracking during outbreaks, including the risk presented, and new insights into their biology, food chain transmission, and evolution.
