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.

The development of a tetanus vaccine can be attributed to Emil von Behring, who, in the late 19th century, discovered that the toxin produced by the tetanus bacterium could be neutralized by serum from immunized animals.

While there isn't a "cure" for tetanus once contracted, vaccination remains the most effective method for preventing the disease.
