Botulism in infants 6 weeks to 1 year of age was first recognized as a distinct clinical entity in 1976. This form of botulism results from growth and toxin production by C. botulinum within the intestinal tract of infants rather than from ingestion of a food with preformed toxin. If the food is a solid or semi-solid, the toxin must be extracted. 2  An equal amount of food (20 g) and casein buffer (20 mL) are mixed by grinding with a mortar and pestle or by other means to mix the food and buffer.
