Draft Genome Sequences of 17 French Clostridium botulinum Group III Strains

Genome Announc. 2015 Oct 1;3(5):e01105-15. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.01105-15.

Abstract

Animal botulism is mainly associated with Clostridium botulinum group III strains producing neurotoxin types C, C/D, D, and D/C. In this report, we present the draft genome sequences of fourteen strains of Clostridium botulinum producing type C/D and two strains producing type D/C isolated in France, and one strain producing type D/C that originated from New Caledonia.
