Within seconds of inhaling the mist you collapse to the ground shaking violently‚ unable to breathe. Within minutes you and countless people around you are dead.

For example‚ the reservoir of Clostridium botulinum is soil‚ but the source of most botulism infections is improperly canned food containing C. botulinum spores. Human reservoirs. Many common infectious diseases have human reservoirs. Diseases that are transmitted from person to person without intermediaries include the sexually transmitted

The effect of drugs‚ toxins‚ and other molecules on synapse and synapse transmission. The synapse is the small gap separating two neurons‚ the presynaptic neuron (neuron that carries the impulse to the synapse‚) and postsynaptic neuron (neuron that carries the impulse away from the synapse.) It separates the axon terminals of the presynaptic neuron from the postsynaptic neuron. The synapse is made of three major parts: a presynaptic neuron‚ a postsynaptic neuron‚ and a synaptic cleft.

Introduction Botulism is a serious but rare infection that is caused by a bacterial poison (toxin). It usually affects babies who are 6 months of age or younger. What are the causes? This condition is caused by a toxin that is produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacteria. The toxin develops when a baby swallows (ingests) these bacteria‚ which then settle in the gut and grow. These bacteria often come from dust and soil. What increases the risk? This condition is more likely to develop in infants who:

The toxin in Botox is the same toxin produced by Clostridium Botulinum‚ the bacterium that causes food poisoning. The trade name Botox comes from the letters botulinum toxin. 2.

Bacteria releases toxins into the body. An example of this is Bacterium Clostridium botulinum‚ this causes Botulism‚ which causes paralysis‚ This is caused by a toxin which is produced by the bacteria. The bacteria stops nerve impulses being transmitted along the neurones which in turn causing paralysis of the muscles. Cholera is caused

Transmission: bacteria produce a toxin that causes illness. Improperly canned foods‚ garlic

Pathogens are everywhere. They are in people‚ animals‚ and the environment. Pathogens come in a wide variety. The types are fungal‚ bacterial‚ viral‚ and other parasites. All pathogens can be dangerous‚ but two of them are more dangerous. These two types that more dangerous are fungal and bacterial. While both fungal and bacterial pathogens cause illness‚ they differ in the way they are transmitted‚ the way they are treated‚ and the diseases they cause. First‚ the way fungal and
