Bacteria of the species Clostridium botulinum are sporeforming, gram-positive, anaerobic rods which are able to produce the most potent toxins in nature. Botulinum toxins are the etiologic factor of botulism in humans and animals. A lethal dose of botulinum toxin for a mouse is about 0.3 ng/kg, whilst a lethal dose for a human ranges from 0.2 µg/kg to 2 µg/kg. Historically, the differentiation of Clostridium botulinum strains is based on their ability to produce one of the seven botulinum toxins marked with letters from A to G. Nowadays, the classification based on the ability to produce botulinum toxins is not the only taxonomic criterion. C. botulinum strains are also divided into four groups which have different metabolic and culture features. Although, botulism is a rare disease, the outbreaks of botulism are difficult to control and cause economic losses in livestock. The species most susceptible to botulism are cattle and birds. The aim of this article is the characteristic of Clostridium botulinum, botulinum toxins, their action and botulism as a disease in some species of animals.
