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

;
This study was conducted to examine the effects of 0.3-Mrad irradiation on growth and toxigenicity of Clostridum botulinum types A and B on chicken skins. Irradiation followed by aerobic or anaerobic incubation at 30/sup 0/C extended the shelf life of skin samples and delayed growth and toxin production by C. botulinum. During 2 weeks of incubation at 10/sup 0/C, the irradiated and nonirradiated C. botulinum spores failed to grow or produce toxin.
