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 1, French, - toxine%20botulinique
