whole genome sequence, Clostridium botulinum type B strain 111. Clostridium botulinum strain:111

we determined the whole genome sequence of Clostridium botulinum type B strain 111. Clostridium botulinum is a Gram-positive, spore-forming, anaerobic, rod-shaped bacterium that produces botulinum neurotoxins that cause serious paralytic illness known as 'botulism'. Strain 111 was isolated from the first case of type B infant botulism in Japan, 1995.
