Clostridium difficile: Clostridium tetani brothers, long time no see, you are emerging in the world again.
Clostridium tetani returns to Clostridium difficile: I have been circulating in humans, but in recent years the epidemic has weakened a little because of diphtheria-pertussis vaccination and the use of tetanus toxoid and antitoxin.
AIDS: Wow, see Clostridium difficile again, I remember you were one of the superbugs.
Clostridium difficile returns to AIDS: Well, I got through the antibiotic maze and evolved a resistance gene, which I passed on to the surrounding bacteria through plasmids.
Clostridium perfringens: Clostridium difficile is part of our clostridium family.
Clostridium botulinum: I'm also in the Clostridium family.
Clostridium tetani: I'm also from the Clostridium family, and our brothers in the Clostridium family are very powerful.
Clostridium botulinum: I can produce botulinum toxin.
Clostridium tetani: I can produce tetanus toxin.
AIDS: Can clostridia produce toxins? It seems to be very powerful.,I want to see Xiao Po's autobiography.。
Clostridium tetani: here is my autobiography.
I'm Clostridium tetani.
My deity is a gram-positive bacillus, Clostridium spp.
I'm the big one of the bacteria, up to 18 microns long.
I don't have a capsule, but I have flagella all over my body, and I can produce spores at the tips of the thallus.
I am an anaerobic bacterium that is widely distributed in the soil and in various environments.
I also exist in the gut of mammals, coexisting with them.
I can enter the body through broken wounds and mucous membranes, and once I encounter a suitable anaerobic environment, I will multiply in large numbers.
I am non-invasive to living tissues, lymph nodes, blood, but produce toxins.
Hemolysin and spasmodin are the two toxins I produce.
Hemolysin can cause tissue damage.
Spastin, or tetanus toxin, is a single-chain protein that blocks the release of inhibitory neurotransmitters, causing muscle rigidity, cramps, and autonomic instability.
Tetanus toxin is my causative factor, and under the influence of this toxin, the infected person will experience dizziness, headache, chewing weakness, and general fatigue.
This is followed by difficulty opening the mouth, a wry smile, trismus, a stiff neck, and a twisted and arched trunk.
In severe cases, as long as there is a slight stimulus such as light, sound, drinking water, and contact, it will attack, and even dyspnea and pause.
If left untreated, the mortality rate is very high.
AIDS: Difficulty opening the mouth, smiling bitterly...... The torso is twisted in a bowed shape...... It's scary!
Rabies: The symptoms of tetanus are very similar to mine, and they can also occur at the slightest stimulus such as light, sound, water, and contact.
Clostridium tetani reverts to rabies: although the symptoms are similar, the pathogenic mechanism is very different.
Stiff person syndrome: The symptoms of tetanus are very similar to mine.
AIDS: Stiff Person Syndrome? Haven't heard of it.
Stiff person syndrome responds to AIDS: I am a central nervous system disease related to genetic, neurophysiological, and immune responses. Voluntary movements, noise, and mood swings can induce paroxysmal muscle spasms, which at the onset of the patient resembles a stiff person, hence the name "stiff person syndrome".
AIDS: The world is so big that there are no surprises.
Strychnien: The symptoms of tetanus are very similar to those of my poisoning.
AIDS: What is Strychnine?
Strychnine replied to AIDS: I am also known as "carrotine", which is an alkaloid extracted from strychnine, which can selectively excite nerves, enhance skeletal muscle tension, and will be poisoned by excessive use, and the symptoms are facial and neck muscle stiffness, angular arch reflexion, and in severe cases, pubtothorax, abdomen, diaphragm stiffness contraction, paralysis and death.
Clostridium tetani: The symptoms of strychnine are really similar to mine, except that humans rarely use it anymore and only appear when humans overdose on strychnine.
AIDS: Another alkaloid poisoning, scary! Don't eat Chinese medicine indiscriminately.
Clostridium tetani: nails, thorns, sharp stones...... Don't stomp around!
Clostridium botulinum: Tetanus toxin is one of the most virulent toxins, and so is my botulinum toxin.
Clostridium tetani reverts to Clostridium botulinum: Botulinum toxin is more powerful than my tetanus toxin.
