In 1870, Muller (another German physician), established to claim the name botulism. Then in 1895 Emile Van Ermengem was the first to isolate the bacteria, and in 1944 Edward Schantz cultured Clostridium botulinum and isolated the toxin. And finally in 1949, Burgen’s group discovered that botulinum toxin blocks neuromuscular transmission.
