Botulinum
	Cbotulin C [12/5/2009]
	Ventilator The need for ventilators must be anticipated if botulism is used as a bioterrorist weapon because the botulism toxins paralyze the muscles required for breathing. [2/11/2009]
	Intubation in botulism The toxin of clostridium botulinum produces muscular paralysis that can require intubation. [2/11/2009]
	Clostridium botulinum spores Botulism is the "B" of BEPAST. These are Clostridium Botulinum Bacilli, caught in the process of forming spores. They look quite similar to their relatives, Clostridium Tetani (causative agent of tetanus) and Clostridium Perfringens (causative agent of clostridial myonecrosis). The "tennis racket heads" are spores that can survive in a dry environment for years. In the right setting, they "hatch" into live bacilli and grow rapidly to produce a deadly toxin. [2/11/2009]
	Botulinum Purple [2/11/2009]
	Botulinum Orange [2/11/2009]
	Botulinum Blue [2/11/2009]
	Botulinum 02 [2/11/2009]
	Wound Botulism Wound botulism involvement of compound fracture of right arm. CDC PHIL [1/4/2008]
	Infant Botulism Six week old infant with botulism. CDC PHIL [1/4/2008]
	Clostridium Botulinum Clostridium botulinum growing on egg yolk agar showing the lipase reaction after 72 hours of incubation. CDC PHIL [1/4/2008]
	Clostridium Botulinum Blood Agar This is a Clostridium botulinum type A colony grown on a 72 hour blood agar plate; Magnification 5X. CDC PHIL [1/4/2008]
	Botulinum [1/3/2008]
