What is the name for botulism bacteria?

Answer 1

It is called "Botulism poisoning" and occurs due to an anaerobic bacterium, Clostridium botulinum. It can be deadly.

It can occur in infants when exposed to the bacterium from disturbed soil or being fed honey at an early age. Adults get botulism poisoning from eating improperly cooked canned food or piercing their body with infected dirt ie. intravenous injections. People have died from botulism poisoning from improperly processed tetra packs of juice in Asia.
