bacteria (plural of bacterium) produce poisonous substances called toxins. The toxin produced by clostridium tetani causes tetanus. hope this helps =)
Tetanus is caused by a bacterium called Clostridium tetani. Measles is caused by a virus.
Tetanus is an infection caused by bacteria called Clostridium tetani.
Tetanus is called by a bacteria named Clostridium tetani. This has been called at times "lockjaw". You should always be vaccinated for this.
No, It is cause by Clostridium tetani which is a Gram-positive, motile bacterium found in soil and animal feces. Toxigenic strains of C. tetani contain a plasmid encoding the potent exotoxin which causes tetanus (lockjaw).
Yes, tetanus (also called lockjaw) is caused by the release of an exotoxin from the bacteria Clostridium tetani.

Tetanus is caused by the bacteria called Clostridium tetani. Clostridium tetani is often found in soil, dust and animal waste. Tetanus is contracted through a cut or wound that becomes contaminated with Clostridium tetani bacteria. The bacteria can get in through even a tiny pinprick or scratch, but deep puncture wounds or cuts like those made by nails or knives are especially susceptible to infection with tetanus. Tetanus is not transmitted from person to person.
Bacteria can come in three different sizes, including the following:sphere shapedspiral shapedrod shapedTetanus bacteria is rod shaped or like a hot-dog.
Tetanus is not a parasite. It is infection of a cut or wound with a bacteria called clostridium tetani, and is fatal if not treated in time
clostridium botulinum is a bacterium which produces a neurotoxin called botulin. the toxic acts on nerve terminals at the neuromuscular junction.
Yes,Tetanus is a bacterial disease.It is also known as lockjaw. Tetanus is a rare but often fatal disease that affects the central nervous system by causing painful muscular contractions. It begins when tetanus bacteria enter the body, usually through a wound or cut exposed to contaminated soil. Tetanus is easily preventable through vaccination.
