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

18. Several mechanisms contribute to host-microbiota homeostasis and symbiotic relationships‚ and a dysregulation in this eubiotic environment leads to barrier failing‚ inflammation and dysbiosis19. A well-known example of this unbalance is the Clostridium difficile infection‚ which only causes disease when the native gut microbiota is suppressed by antibiotics20.
