La toxine botulinique produite par le Clostridium botulinum est l'une des plus virulentes qui soit. La dose létale moyenne pour la souris est de 0,003 µg/kg. La quantité requise pour contaminer une source d'eau potable, par exemple, est donc très faible, de là son attrait comme arme biologique. De plus, elle est difficilement décelable par les méthodes usuelles de laboratoire. 1, record 2, French, - toxine%20botulinique

With the increasing use of Botulinum toxin in the treatment of various neuromuscular disorders, it is very important that all who are involved be kept up with the latest developments and indications for the use of the toxin. The current literature reflects the potential uses of the toxin but at the same time discrepancies in the dosage of the toxin, and measurement of toxin activity are arising. In addition, basic scientists interested in the toxin for its elegant role as a molecular tool. 3, record 3, English, - Botulinum%20neurotoxin

Les neurotoxines tétaniques (TeTN) et botuliques (BoNT) sont responsables de deux maladies sévères : le tétanos et le botulisme. Le TnNT bloque la libération de GABA [acide 4-aminobutanoïque] et de glycine dans le système nerveux central alors que les BoNT agissent en périphérie en inhibant la libération d'acétylcholine. 1, record 3, French, - neurotoxine%20botulique
