paralytic illness that is caused by botulinum toxin(potentially deadly neurotoxin) which is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. The botulinum toxin can enter the body in 3 main ways: by the ingestion of the toxin from eating foods that contain the botulism toxin (food borne botulism)‚ by the contamination of a wound by the bacterium in which the toxin is produced (wound botulism) and Infant botulism which is caused by consuming the spores of the botulinum bacteria‚ which then grow in the

bacterial disease most often linked to un-sterile canned foods. It can be rather serious‚ as it has the potential to paralyze the respiratory system and thus cause death. The bacterium is named Clostridium Botulinum‚ it is a gram-positive and anaerobic pathogen. The morphology consists of rod shaped spores. The toxin is widely used in cosmetic injections‚ also known as Botox‚ to decrease wrinkles in the skin. Though Botulism is mainly linked to canned foods‚ the most common mode of acquisition

usage of Botox on subjects directly using modern technology and equipment. Botulinum toxin exerts its effect by cleaving key proteins required for nerve activation. First‚ the toxin binds specifically to nerves which use the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Once bound to the nerve terminal‚ the neuron takes up the toxin into a vescicle. As the vesicle moves farther into the cell‚ it acidifies‚ activating a portion of the toxin which triggers it to push across the vesicle membrane and into the

Clostridium Botulinum Microbiology 204 Professor G. Corwall June 25‚ 2014 Botulism is a rare neuromuscular disorder caused by toxins produced from Clostridium botulinum. Food borne botulism most commonly occurs when food has been improperly processed or stored. Witoonpanich (2008) stated that while mass contamination of commercial food products occasionally occurs‚ most cases of botulism can be directly linked to home canned products or in small batch "artisanal" foods.

Botulinum neurotoxin A‚ (BoNT-A)‚ commonly known as Botox‚ is a type of neurotoxin that targets the neuromuscular junction (Merchand-Pauvert‚ V.‚ Aymard‚ C.‚ Giboin‚ L.‚ Dominici‚ F.‚ Rossi‚ A.‚ & Mazzocchino‚ R. (2012)). The neurotoxin is produced by an anaerobic bacterium of the Clostridium protein that is very famous and commonly known as it is used for cosmetic purposes such as smoothening wrinkles on our faces‚ migraines and so on. Botulinum neurotoxin A is so successful
