Draft Genome Sequence of Clostridium botulinum Subtype /A5(B2').

Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Clostridium botulinum strain CDC76130, which harbors a rare botulinum toxin gene () complex arrangement of /A5 and truncated /B2 within the same toxin gene cluster.

Type B Isolated From a Wound Botulism Case Due to Injection Drug Use Resembles Other Local Strains Originating From Hawaii.

produces botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT), which can lead to death if untreated. In the United States, over 90% of wound botulism cases are associated with injection drug use of black tar heroin. We sought to determine the phylogenetic relatedness of isolated from an injection drug use wound botulism case and isolates from endogenous infant botulism cases in Hawaii.
