A collection of 36Clostridium botulinum type E strains was examined by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and Southern hybridization with probes targeted tobotE andorfX1 in the neurotoxin gene cluster. Three strains were found to contain neurotoxin subtype E1 gene clusters in large plasmids of about 146 kb in size.
