Tetanus Overview. Tetanus is an infectious disease caused by contamination of wounds with the bacteria Clostridium tetani, and/or the spores they produce that live in the soil and animal feces.Tetanus has been recognized for centuries.etanus spores are found throughout the environment, usually in soil, dust, and animal waste. The usual locations for the bacteria to enter the body are puncture wounds, such as those caused by rusty nails, splinters, or even insect bites.
Seen here is a diagram depicting the bacterium, Clostridium tetani, which causes the tetanus infection known for its symptoms of muscle spasms and lockjaw. This bacterium is strongly durable due to its endospores, which can carry the infection's DNA even when the bacterium is dead.etanus toxin is a potent neurotoxin. On the basis of weight, tetanospasmin is one of the most potent toxins known (based on tests conducted on mice). The estimated minimum human lethal dose is 2.5 nanograms per kilogram of body weight, or 175 nanograms in a 70 kg (154 lb) human.
