Neurotoxin produced by Clostridium botulinum ; 7 structurally similar but antigenically and serologically distinct botulinum toxin serotypes (A, B, C, D, E, F, and G) exist. Botulinum toxin disrupts neurotransmission by inhibiting release of acetylcholine at cholinergic nerve terminals of the peripheral nervous system and at ganglionic nerve terminals of the autonomic nervous system, inducing a chemical denervation and flaccid paralysis and inhibiting glandular secretion.
