RESUMO

Fluorescent-antibody techniques were evaluated for confirming infant botulism. Seventy-seven stool specimens from suspected cases were examined. All 34 specimens containing viable Clostridium botulinum at time of study gave positive results (29 on direct smears and 34 on enrichments). Two false-positive reactions were observed.
