Tetanus Research Paper

According to the CDC states how “Clostridium tetani is the bacteria responsible for the often fatal disease Tetanus”, (“Clostridium Tetani”).Tetanus or in other words “lockjaw” is a bacterial disease pronounced by rigor spasms of the voluntary muscles. Tetanus is caused by the exotoxin produced by Clostridium tetani. Tetanus was discovered in 1884 by Carle and Rattone by injecting pus of a human tetanus case into animals. There are three different types of Tetanus that can be diagnosed which are cephalic, local, and generalized. These disease are found everywhere in the soil, dust, or even saliva. Tetanus has numerous symptoms, has no cure, and usually one out of four people die from it.

Botulism is a rare but very serious 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 intestines and release the toxin. The powerful exotoxin (botulinum toxin) leads to secretory diarrhea. All forms of botulism can be fatal and are therefore considered to be

Toxic Shock Syndrome, also known simply as TSS, is a life threatening illness caused by a bacterium called Staphylococcus aureus. TSS was first discovered in children in 1978 (Venkataraman, 2015). After the 1978 discovery, the disease itself was nationally recognized in 1980 when it was seen as a health threat amongst reproductive women. After this epidemic the number of reports of TSS decreased sharply (Hajjeh, 2010). Staphylococcus aureus can be identified as bacteria that, often times will go unnoticed as it usually does not cause any harm. Around 30% of the world?s population carries this bacterium in their noses.

“In California has already sickened more than 5,270 infants and killed nine, in 2010, the highest record since 1955.” (Steven Reinberg, HealthDay 2010) CDC recommends that, “all adults 18-64 in contact with infants or working in health care receive a TDap within two years of their last tetanus vaccination, and that other adults in the same age range be offered the vaccine 10 years or more after their last tetanus shot.” (CDC, 2011)

The amount of Tasers deployed between 2010 – 2011 went from 473 to 522 “reported” uses from the Queensland police. The use of Tasers is becoming a much larger issue every year.

Tetanus is a serious bacterial infection that affects the nervous system. It causes muscles in the body to tighten. Tetanus is also known as lockjaw, because the infection usually causes muscle to contract in the jaw and neck, but it will eventually spread to other parts of the body if left untreated. Bacteria called Clostridium tetani is the cause of tetanus. Spores of the bacteria can be found in dirt, dust, and animal droppings. Spores are small reproductive bodies produced by only some recognized organisms. They are often very immune to harsher environment conditions. The bacteria likes high heat, damp climates with rich soil, and in densely populated areas which occurs very often in the south. A slave would become infected when these spores enter the bloodstream through a cut or deep wound, which was almost bond to happen from working long laborious hours. Which back then they did not know how to care for open wounds properly. The spores release the bacteria, which then spreads throughout the body and produces a toxin called tetanospasmin. This toxin is a poison that blocks the nerve signals from your spinal cord to your muscles, which leads to severe muscle spasms. Tetanus is not contagious from person to person so overpopulation would not be a cause of spreading. Just like hookworms walking around barefoot is a main cause of infection. Children are mostly infected with tetanus because the usage of

Introduction Tetanus, also known as lock-jaw, is a deadly bacterial Tetanus Painting breathing disease that causes muscle spasms an problems. It is uncommon in Australia because of the widely spread use of tetanus vaccines. The bacteria that infects the body and wound is known as Clos uces toxins that affect the and it prod Tridium Tetan nervous system. All wounds that aren't clean, minor cuts are considered Tetanus prone if the victim hasn't immunised in the last five years. The best prevention is immunisation. One in ten people infecte with tetanus will die How? Tetanus occurs when the bacterium enters the body through an open wound and attacks the nervous system. It effects the neck and face before moving, effecting the entire body.The bacteria

Tetanus is not common in the human body, but it is a very deadly bacteria, and it can cause deaths, or other bad consequences. People can get tetanus by a rusty nail. Tetanus affects three main body systems. The Respiratory system, Muscular system, and the Nervous system. The Muscular system, is the main system tetanus affects. The structures of tetanus, make so deadly, if it gets in the body. If tetanus gets in the body, many malfunctions can occur, that are life threatening. When tetanus gets in the body, the body will not function correctly.

Tetanus is an infection caused by the Clostridium tetani bacteria, also written C. tetani. The C. tatani bacterium is gram-positive and shaped like a slender rod, once it has developed a terminal spore it may resemble a drumstick (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2015). The actual bacteria are heat sensitive and cannot survive when there is oxygen present, the spores on the other hand are very heat resistant and can survive the presence of oxygen (CDC, 2015). Cases of tetanus continue to shrink in the United States and other developed countries thanks to the availability of the tetanus vaccination; however, in underdeveloped countries tetanus is still a major problem. Tetanus presents with various visible signs and symptoms which may vary based on the type of tetanus. The type of tetanus will also determine the methods used to treat the infection.

Tetanus is a rare pathogen, the reason it is so rare is because the body receives a shot for Tetanus and two other pathogens every ten years. The body is still not protected even if the body is given the shot since the pathogen still holds the power to enter the open wound. If Tetanus happens to infect the body the body will have to get another shot if it has not in the last five years. Lockjaw is another name given to Tetanus because Tetanus is a bacteria that impacts the nervous system

Tetanus isn’t caused by the bacteria, it is caused by the toxin it releases. Tetanus is a rare disease that is caused by wounds getting infected. It can be fatal because death is another result of this disease. Muscles tighten when it enters the body. It can do a lot of damage, especially to the Nervous System. (Hudson 109)

This disease is fatal if untreated causing painful muscle spasms which are triggered by a draft, loud noise, physical touch, and light. Tetanus is contracted by wounds from needles, nails, burns and crush injuries that have been infected with manure, dirt or saliva. Also note that tetanus is not spread from person to person easily it is not airborne but can spread by two different bodily fluids one being infected and the other not. Now there are some unusual ways that tetanus is transmitted surgical procedures, insect bites, dental infections, compound fractures, chronic sores, and iv drug use. This disease

The bacteria I got assigned is Bacillus Anthracis. It’s the bacteria that causes Anthrax. They used Bacillus Anthracis to make the Anthrax Vaccine. There are three different strains of Anthrax they are Cutaneous,Inhalation,and Gastrointestinal. They also used Bacillus Anthracis to prove diseases are caused by bacteria.The spores are found in soil,dead animals,and fences. They can remain dominant for many years. Anthrax is found in farming areas of Central America,South America,and Central Asia. You can get Cutaneous Anthrax by bumping up against something and getting Bacillus Anthracis in a cut. You get Inhalation Anthrax by breathing in Air that has spores of Anthrax in it. You get Gastrointestinal Anthrax by eating raw or undercooked food

TBM also known as Tuberculous Meninaitis is an contagious disease stem from tuberculosis. Tuberculous Meninaitis is a meningitis due to tuberculosis and is the most severe form of tuberculosis with high morbidity and mortality. Tuberculous Meninaitis is an airborne disease that affects the lungs and could be spread by coughing, sneezing, breathing, talking, and singing. According to the (cdc) "sharing toothbrushes, hugging, and kissing does not spread the infection" because the bacteria mycobacterium turberculosis does not stick to skin and clothes but instead mycobacterium turberculosis lingers in the air. Mycobacterium turberculosis "bacteria multiplies in the lungs and passes the protective layer of the brain meninges

Toronto- Maternal and Neonatal Tetanus is an deadly disease that kills one newborn every 11 minutes and average 134 babies each day. Some parts of the world, mothers are having a hard time accessing to clean, hygienic and safe hospitals to get the necessary care to give birth to unborn child. UNICEF and the Kiwanis club wants to eliminate this preventable disease, create awareness and educate the public about it.
