Abstract

According to international references the publication ascertains the etiologic role of neurotoxin producing Clostridial spp., other than C. botulinum in Infant botulism. Authors report on the first Hungarian case of Infant botulism. The organism isolated -- C. barati -- is responsible only for a small proportion of published cases.
