Botulism results from consumption of preformed toxin or in vivo toxin elaboration in wounds or
intestine. food-borne botulism attributed to toxin F production by a Clostridium baratii organism
isolated from food consumed by the patient. Clostridium butyricum is a strictly anaerobic endospore-
forming Gram-positive butyric acid producing bacillus subsisting by means of fermentation using an
intracellularly accumulated amylopectin-like α-polyglucan (granulose) as a substrate. Clostridium
