Effects of irradiation on growth and toxigenicity of Clostridium botulinum types A and B inoculated onto chicken skins.

M Dezfulian and J G Bartlett

ABSTRACT

This study was conducted to examine the effects of 0.3-Mrad irradiation on growth and toxigenicity of Clostridium botulinum types A and B on chicken skins. Irradiation followed by aerobic or anaerobic incubation at 30 degrees C extended the shelf life of skin samples and delayed growth and toxin production by C. botulinum. During 2 weeks of incubation at 10 degrees C, the irradiated and nonirradiated C. botulinum spores failed to grow or produce toxin.
