Complete Genome Sequence of Clostridium botulinum CJ0611A1, a Type A(B) Isolate Associated with an International Outbreak of Botulism from Commercial Carrot Juice.

ABSTRACT: We report the complete genome (3.9-Mb chromosome, 5.9-kb plasmid) of Clostridium botulinum CJ0611A1, a type A(B) strain isolated from carrot juice distributed in Canada and linked to an international 2006 foodborne botulism outbreak. This strain encodes a full-length bont/A1 gene and a truncated bont/B gene.
