Infectious agents responsible for tetanus are the spores of the bacterium Clostridium tetani. These spores are commonly found in soil, dust, and animal feces and can enter the body through wounds, particularly deep puncture wounds. Once inside, the spores can germinate, producing a potent neurotoxin called tetanospasmin, which leads to the characteristic muscle stiffness and spasms associated with tetanus. Vaccination and proper wound care are essential for prevention.
No, tetanus is an infectious disease.
Unicellular infectious agents are prokaryotes, eukaryotes, bacteria, and protoza.

Prions are the smallest known infectious agents.
Tetanus is non-infectious; it is caused by a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium tetani, which is typically found in soil, dust, and animal feces. The bacteria enter the body through wounds or cuts, but they do not spread from person to person. Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent tetanus infection.
Pathogens are infectious agents.
Infectious diseases from animal bites include cat-scratch disease, tetanus and rabies

No ferrets do not have lockjaw. Lockjaw refers to tetanus, an infectious disease of the central nervous system
The CPT code 87798 is used for DNA or RNA detection of infectious agents. It is used for infectious agents that do not already have their own specific CPT code.
