Best Answer

While the species itself is sensitive to penicillin, suffering significant reduction in population, the tetanus toxoid produced during bacterial metabolism is the causative agent of tetanus. Definitive treatment requires the administration of tetanus immune globulin to isolate and prevent the toxin from working within the body.
