- 9. Universities Press © Universities Press (India) Private Limited TETANOSPASMIN • Responsible – tetanus • Heat labile – inactivated at 65°C in five minutes • Good antigen, specifically neutralised by antitoxin • Toxoided spontaneously, low concentration of formaldehyde
- 10. Universities Press © Universities Press (India) Private Limited TOXIN • Monomer – toxic • Toxin exists • Dimer – non-toxic • Good antigen • Susceptibility : Horses, guinea pigs, mice, goats, rabbits
- 11. Universities Press © Universities Press (India) Private Limited TOXIN Tetanus • Surgical operations • Punctured wounds • Septic abortions • Umblical – sepsis • Ear piercing – unhygienic • Circumcision – conditions
- 12. Universities Press © Universities Press (India) Private Limited FAVOURABLE DISEASE CONDITIONS 1. Anaerobic 2. Presence necrotic 3. Other bacteria 4. Lack of drainage 5. Dose and toxigenicity of strain 6. Site and nature of wound 7. Immune status of host 8. Incubation 6–12 days Mortality rate 80–90 per cent before specific treatment was available Tetanus neonatarum and uterine tetanus 70 per cent
- 13. Universities Press © Universities Press (India) Private Limited TETANUS Pathogenicity • Spore – implanted wound • Multiplies (anaerobic) • Toxin • CNS – via peripheral nerves • Toxin fixed by gangliosides • SP blocks – Syn. inhibition in spinal cord
- 14. Universities Press © Universities Press (India) Private Limited TETANUS • Ascending tetanus – up the spinal cord – opposing hind limbs, trunk, forelimbs • Descending tetanus – IV spasticity of head, neck, limbs • Naturally occurring tetanus
- 15. Universities Press © Universities Press (India) Private Limited NEONATAL TETANUS
- 16. Universities Press © Universities Press (India) Private Limited TETANUS IN HUMAN
- 17. Universities Press © Universities Press (India) Private Limited LABORATORY DIAGNOSIS Confirmation 1. Microscopy BA half plate – polymyxin 1–2 days 2. Culture 80°C for 15 min RCM 3 tubes 80°C for 5 min Unheated 37°C for 4 days
- 18. Universities Press © Universities Press (India) Private Limited SEROTYPING Ten serotypes I–X • VI – Non-flagellate strains Toxins and pathogenicity • Neuro toxin develops – cultures 2–14 at 35°C

- 21. Universities Press © Universities Press (India) Private Limited PROPHYLAXIS • Tetanus – preventable • Spores – ubiquitous – wound contaminated Prevention 1. Immunisation: Active, Passive, Combined 2. Surgical 3. Antibiotic penicillin, tetracycline
- 22. Universities Press © Universities Press (India) Private Limited CLOSTRIDIUM BOTULINUM BOTULISM • Food poisoning • Botulism – botulum – sausage • Saprophyte – soil, vegetable, animal, hay Morphology • Gram-positive, 5 µ. • Oval, bulging, subterminal spore
- 23. Universities Press © Universities Press (India) Private Limited Culture • Strict anaerobes, 35ºC • Colonies – large, irregular, semi transport • Spore production: Alk, glucose, gelatin 20–25ºC Classification: 8 types A–H • Cl. botulinum – toxin, powerful exotoxin • Toxin – death and lysis • Toxin – synthesized – non-toxic • Pro toxin – converted by enzymes to active toxin, 80–30ºC – 40 min • Toxin inactivated at 100ºC within 10 min CLOSTRIDIUM BOTULINUM BOTULISM
