Heptavalent botulism antitoxin

The Botulism Antitoxin Heptavalent (A, B, C, D, E, F, G) - (Equine) (trade name BAT), made by Emergent BioSolutions Canada Inc. (formerly Cangene Corporation), is a licensed, commercially available botulism anti-toxin that effectively neutralizes all seven known botulinum nerve toxin serotypes (types A, B, C, D, E, F and G). It is indicated for sporadic cases of life-threatening botulism and is also stockpiled for the eventuality of botulinum nerve toxins being used in a future bioterrorist attack.

BAT was first approved in 2010 by the Centers for Disease Control for the indication of treating naturally occurring non-infant botulism on an investigational basis, replacing two earlier products. It was then licensed for commercial marketing by the United States FDA in 2013.
