Botulinum neurotoxins are secreted by the spore forming Gram-positive bacteriaClostridium botulinumand some otherClostridiumstrains under suitable anaerobic conditions . Ingestion or inhalation of botulinum neurotoxin leads to a severe neuroparalytic disease, termed botulism, which is characterized by muscle paralysis and autonomic dysfunction. Both conditions stem from inhibition of acetylcholine release, which results from botulinum neurotoxin-mediated proteolysis of one of three SNARE (solubleN-ethylmaleimide–sensitive factor attachment protein receptor) proteins involved in the release of this neurotransmitter from nerve terminals . On page 977 of this issue, Guet al.provide a key insight into how botulinum neurotoxin can survive passage through the gastrointestinal tract, allowing the intact toxin to reach the bloodstream.
