Identification of structural genes forClostridium botulinumtype C neurotoxin-converting phage particles

Genome Sequence of the Group III Clostridium botulinum Strain Eklund-C

The neurotoxins produced by Clostridium botulinum strains are among the world’s most potent toxins and are the causative agents of paralytic botulism. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of the group III C. botulinum strain Eklund-C, including a pseudolysogen-like bacteriophage that harbors the type C neurotoxin operon.
