Infant Botulism Acquired from Household Dust Presenting as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome

Abstract: Clostridium botulinum type B was detected by multiplex PCR in the intestinal contents of a suddenly deceased 11-week-old infant and in vacuum cleaner dust from the patient's household. C. botulinum was also isolated from the deceased infant's intestinal contents and from the household dust. The genetic similarity of the two isolates was demonstrated by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and randomly amplified polymorphic DNA analysis, thereby confirming that dust may act as a vehicle for infant botulism that res… Show more

“…Soil and vacuum cleaner dust were cultured as described by Nevas et al (2005) by inoculation into pre-reduced CMM broth with added glucose and starch. Duplicate specimens and samples were inoculated into pre-reduced CMM, one of which was heat-shocked at 60 uC±2 uC for 30 min.…”

“…The infant intestinal tract lacks protective bacterial flora and Clostridium-inhibiting bile acids, which allows the C. botulinum to flourish and produce the toxin that causes disease. Although about 98% of affected infants present between 1 and 6 months of age, infant botulism is reported as early as the first week of life [3] and as late as 12 months of age. Although isolated cases of C. butyricum type E and C. baratii type F have been reported, C. botulinum types A and B primarily cause infant botulism [4].…”
