What is Toxin mediated infection?
A toxin-mediated infection is caused when a living organism is consumed with food (as in the case of an infection). Once the organism is inside the human body, it produces a toxin that causes the illness. Toxin-mediated infection is different from an intoxication because the toxin is produced inside the human body. An example of an organism that causes this type of illness is Clostridium perfringens.

What toxin blocks synaptic vesicle release of acetylcholine into the neuromuscular junction a. Botulinum. b. Curare. c. Anticholinesterase. d. Isotonic. e. Creatine phosphate.?
a. BotulinumBotulism is a bacterium know as Clostridium botulinum. The toxin acts presynaptically to block the release of acetylcholine and thereby induce paralysis. It is suggested that the toxin might act by the same general mechanism as other bacterial toxins, i.e. after binding to a cell surface receptor, it enters the cell and expresses some type of enzymatic action ultimately leading to the block of neurotransmitter release.A small amount of the botulism toxin is involved in botox, which can be injected into various body parts to prevent/get rid of wrinkles. Injection of botox in essentially the paralysis of bodily tissue.
