Clostridium tetani bacteraemia in the plague area in France: Two cases
Clostridium tetani (C. tetani) bacteraemia is a rare situation, with only four case reports in the literature. Fourteen teeth from the 1590 plague site in Fédons, France, were surface decontaminated before the pulp was cultured under strict anaerobiosis ...

Continuous Production of Clostridium tetani Toxin [PDF]
The continuous production of Clostridium tetani toxin has been carried out in a 1-liter stirred culture vessel for as long as 65 days. Toxin production of approximately 120 flocculating units per ml was maintained with a dilution rate of 0.125 hr -1 , a temperature of 34 C, a p

Insights into Clostridium tetani: From genome to bioreactors
Tetanus vaccination is of major importance for public health in most countries in the world. The World Health Organization indicated that 15,000 tetanus cases were reported in 2018 (Organization, World Health, 2019). Currently, vaccine manufacturers use tetanus toxin produced by Clostridium tetani fermentation in complex media.

Chronic ulcers and myasis as ports of entry for Clostridium tetani [PDF]
Evaluating tetanus immune status is not yet the usual clinical practice regarding patients with chronic ulcers or myasis. However, of 858 tetanus patients at Hospital Couto Maia (Salvador, Bahia, Brazil) aged 1 year or above, 2 had pressure ulcers and 17 had chronic ulceration of the lower limbs where these skin lesions were the ports of entry for ...

High-molecular-weight hemolysin of Clostridium tetani [PDF]
Clostridium tetani excretes hemolysins of two size classes, a high-molecular-weight hemolysin (HMH), which was eluted near void volume of a Sepharose 6B column, and conventional tetanolysin (molecular weight, approximately 50,000). The total hemolysin activity in the culture supernatant increased sharply with growth of bacteria and remained at a high ...

Comparative pathogenomic analysis reveals a highly tetanus toxin-producing clade of Clostridium tetani isolates in Japan. [PDF]
Clostridium tetani is the etiological agent of the disease tetanus, resulting in various symptoms, including neck tension, tongue-twisting, a decline in walking ability, and death in severe cases. To date, publicly available genome sequences of C. tetani

Immunization against Clostridium perfringens cells elicits protection against Clostridium tetani in mouse model: identification of cross-reactive proteins using proteomic methodologies [PDF]
Background Clostridium tetani and Clostridium perfringens are among the medically important clostridial pathogens causing diseases in man and animals. Several homologous open reading frames (ORFs) have been identified in the genomes of the two pathogens ...
