Who are the most common victums of diphtheria?
In areas where it is still common, children are most affected.
What is the most effective weapons against clostridium tetani?
The most effective weapon against Clostridium tetani, the bacterium that causes tetanus, is vaccination with the tetanus toxoid vaccine. This vaccine helps the body develop immunity against the toxin produced by the bacterium. Prompt wound care and administration of tetanus immunoglobulin are also important in preventing tetanus infection.
Why do heroin addicts have high incidence of Clostridium tetani infection?
Clostridium tetani is one of the most poisonous biological substances known. It produces neurotoxins that enter nerve cells and block neurotransmitters. A very tiny amount of these substances can cause severe muscle disorders and respiratory complications that result in death. We call this disease tetanus.People can become infected with Clostridium tetanithrough a puncture wound or a dirty needle and it is placed just where this anaerobic bacteria loves to be. They are deposited deep into the skin and far from oxygen that would kill it.
What is the vector for tetanus?
The vectors for the tetanus bacteria (aka: Clostridium tetani) are most commonly contaminated soil, dust, or animal manure. But it can exsist in or on practically anything. It does not require a host, nor does it require oxygen.
What is an example of an anaerobic?
Examples of anaerobic bacteria would be Clostridium tetani, Clostridium botulinum. Both of these bacteria are pathogens or disease causing organisms: tetani causes tetanus or lockjaw, botulinum causes botulism or food poisoning. Note that both of these organisms flourish in conditions of low oxygen. Aerobic bacteria would include Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus faecalis, Vibrio comma.
Explain why the bacteria Clostridium perringens are referred to as the banquet germs?
they are most common in banquets
What is the cause of tetanus?
Tetanus, or lockjaw is a serious infection caused by Clostridium tetani bacteria which produce a toxin that affects the brain and nervous system. The toxin leads to stiffness in the jaw muscles as well as other muscles. The infection can cause severe muscle spasms, serious breathing difficulties, and can ultimately be fatal.Clostridium tetani spores can be found most commonly in soil, dust and manure, but also exist virtually anywhere. If deposited in a wound the neurotoxin interferes with nerves that control muscle movement.
How does tetanus attack the body?
It is an infectious often fatal disease characterised by violent tonic muscles spasms and rigidity caused by toxin of Clostridium Tetani. C.Tetani are gram positive strictly anaerobic and bear spores. most of the species grow as saprophytes in soil.Wound infections from bacteria. Tetanus bacteria is found in feces of animals Clostridium tetani the bacterium that causes tetanus needs to enter a cut or deep wound.
