The causative agent of this disease contains a pE88 plasmid encoding several ABC transporters. This disease may cause Risus sardonicus and more general opisthotonus (“opp-is-THOT-uh-nuss”) also seen in cerebral palsy or strychnine poisoning. Exotoxins present in this disease include a cholesterol-dependent hemolysin and a ganglioside-binding protein that cleaves synaptobrevin. Renshaw cells are inactivated by this disease, (10[1])which prevents the release of inhibitory neurotransmitters. (-5[1])It’s not botulism, but this disease is caused by a Clostridium (10[1])bacterium (-5[1])and has symptoms that can be (10[1])alleviated (10[1])by benzodiazepines. A toxoid from this disease is included alongside diphtheria and pertussis in the Tdap vaccine. (10[1])For 10 points, (10[1]-5[1])name this disease that causes muscle spasms associated with exposure to rusty nails. ■END■ (10[2])
