Detailed explanation-1: -Clostridium tetani The C. tetani bacterium is a spore-forming, gram-positive, slender, anaerobic rod. The organism is sensitive to heat and cannot survive in the presence of oxygen. The spores, in contrast, are extremely resistant to heat and the usual antiseptics.
Detailed explanation-2: -Seven serotypes of botulinum toxin have been identified. They are structurally similar to tetanus toxin and act by enzymatically cleaving members of the SNARE family of proteins, which are involved in acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction, resulting in neuromuscular block.
