Title: Clostridium tetani, LM
Caption: Clostridium tetani (or Nicolayer bacillus) is the bacterium that causes tetanus. Minimal contamination into a wound results in the production of a neurotrophic toxin tetanospasmin, which binds in the central nervous system causing paralysis and contractures. Optical microscopy; magnification X 1000.
