Botulism – Pipeline Review, 2024

Botulism is a serious illness which is caused by the toxins produced by Clostridium botulinum. The toxin attacks the nerves of the body leading to difficulty in breathing and muscle paralysis. Botulism can be categorised into five types namely infant botulism, wound botulism, foodborne botulism, adult intestinal toxaemia and iatrogenic botulism. The symptoms of botulism include blurred vision, drooping eyelids, difficult breathing, slurred speech, diarrhoea, and others.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2015, the total number of confirmed cases of foodborne botulism was 39, making it the most common among all the botulism types after infant botulism. The current treatment for botulism includes the use of antitoxins, antibiotics, breathing aid, and others. In case of foodborne botulism, the physicians clear out the bowel by inducing vomiting and prescribe medications to induce the bowel movement.

Currently, academic research institutes and pharmaceutical players both are focusing on developing novel therapeutic options for botulism. For instance; The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) is conducting a clinical study to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of NTM-1633, which is under phase 1 clinical trials.
