Clostridium16
Bacterium4
  • The C. tetani bacterium is a spore-forming, gram-positive, slender, anaerobic rod. (cdc.gov)
  • Tetanus occurs when a wound becomes contaminated with the bacterium Clodstridium tetanti, which produces a toxin harmful to the nervous system. (equisearch.com)
  • To survive in an aerobic environment, C. tetani uses a process called sporulation where it exists as a spore, a kind of seed that can 'germinate' into a tetanic bacterium only in the absence of oxygen. (positivehealth.com)
  • It is also the reason why antibiotics have no action against the tetanus bacterium, but antibiotics can help prevent tetanus when there is the presence of a pyogenic flora (bacteria that consume oxygen) in a wound. (positivehealth.com)
Bacteria9
  • In general, the occurrence of the bacteria in the soil and the frequency of tetanus in humans and horses are higher in the warmer parts of the various continents. (merckvetmanual.com)
  • Bacteria causing tetanus are found in soil and human and animal faeces. (sa.gov.au)
  • In 1884, Arthur Nicolaier was the first to isolate tetanus toxin (strychnine) from free-living, anaerobic soil bacteria. (pediatriconcall.com)
  • Tetanus bacteria produce spores. (msdmanuals.com)
  • The C. tetani bacteria can live in the environment for many years and are spread through feces. (a-z-animals.com)
  • Even though dog mouths do have bacteria that can be harmful to humans when they bite, they are not likely to have the bacteria that causes tetanus unless the dog was eating dirt right before it bit you. (a-z-animals.com)
  • Even though antibiotics don't work on the toxin, if you get rid of the C. tetani bacteria infection, the toxin won't be released anymore. (a-z-animals.com)
  • This surgery aims to remove most of the C. tetani bacteria by cutting out the dead tissue around the wound. (a-z-animals.com)
  • Tetanus can be stopped more quickly if the number of C. tetani bacteria that release the toxin into the wound decreases quickly. (a-z-animals.com)
Vaccination14

  • Incidence Iraq that assessed serological immunity tetanus (0.31) [11], and e is the relative rates of more than 1 per 1000 live births against neonatal tetanus apart from 1 precision (0.15). (who.int)
Anaerobic2
  • Without this strict anaerobic environment, the spores will stay in their vegetative form and no tetanus is possible. (positivehealth.com)
  • At the level of the anaerobic wound, the nerve endings engulf, via invagination, the toxin which is then free to circulate towards the central nervous system and trigger the terrible symptoms of tetanus. (positivehealth.com)
