Function

Clostridium botulinum is a rod-shaped, spore-forming bacteria that is highly pathogenic. These bacteria are prevalent in soils, sediments, and aquatic environments. The botulinum toxins decrease or prevent nerve function which leads to respiratory and muscular paralysis. The spores within the C. botulinum grow an abundance of active bacteria and transform into neurotoxins to produce Botulinum Neurotoxin or Botulinum Toxin- one of the most toxic proteins known to exist. There are four types of botulism that are associated with the bacteria, Clostridium botulinum. These include food, wound, infant botulism, and inhalation botulism.
