Abstract
Botulism is a neuroparalytic illness resulting from the action of a potent toxin produced by the organism Clostridium botulinum. Foodborne botulism is rare, but it may kill rapidly, and contaminated products may theoretically expose many persons to the toxin. Foodborne botulism therefore represents a medical and a public health emergency that places a premium on rapid, effective communication between clinicians and public health officials © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2009.
