C. Botulinum is a Gram Positive bacteria belonging to the group of Firmicutes. They are obligate anaerobes capable of producing endospores. C. Botulinum is capable of producing a neurotoxin that causes muscle paralysis. The toxin can enter the body in many different ways: colonization of the digestive tract in both adults (Adult intestinal toxemia) and infants (infant botulism), ingestion of toxin from foods (Foodborne Botulism), and entry of a wound (Wound botulism).
