CSP: etiologic agent of botulism in humans and waterfowl; produces a powerful exotoxin.,MSH: A species of anaerobic, gram-positive, rod-shaped bacteria in the family Clostridiaceae that produces proteins with characteristic neurotoxicity. It is the etiologic agent of BOTULISM in humans, wild fowl, HORSES; and CATTLE. Seven subtypes (sometimes called antigenic types, or strains) exist, each producing a different botulinum toxin (BOTULINUM TOXINS). The organism and its spores are widely distributed in nature.,NCI: Any bacterial organism that can be assigned to the species Clostridium putrificum.,NCI: A species of anaerobic, Gram positive, rod shaped bacteria assigned to the phylum Firmicutes.
