Clostridium difficile There are many microbes that live in the human digestive tract. Most keep us regular and healthy. Some of these organisms keep others in check. When the balance of these good and bad organisms is disrupted‚ we can become sick. Clostridium difficile (C.diff or C.difficile) can grow out of control if this happens. This happens when a person is on antibiotics for another reason and the normal flora of the gut is eradicated. Clostridium difficile is typically found in hospitals

There are seven distinct neurotoxins (types A-G) that Clostridium botulinum produces‚ but types A‚ B‚ and E (and rarely F) are the most common that produce the flaccid paralysis in humans. The other types mainly cause disease in animals and birds‚ which also develop flaccid paralysis. Most Clostridium species produce only one type of neurotoxin;

They can be found in soil‚ animal feces and manure. Clostridium tetani spores can tolerate temperature of more than 100 degrees Celsius. Tetanus is the only disease that is vaccine preventable and its infection is not contagious (Walker). Tetanus occurs when Clostridium tetani spores enter the body through
