The Gram positive bacilli ''Clostridium tetani'' is the bacteria responsible for the disease state of tetanus. The presence of the bacteria does not cause the disease but instead the toxins it produces cause the disease state. ''C. tetani'' produces two toxins; '''tetanospasmin''' and '''tetanolysin''' or '''tentoxylysin'''. Tetanolysin is a cytolysin that increases the permeability of cellular membranes through cell lysis.<ref> PMID: 2404569</ref> Tetanospasmin is the cause of tetanus and is sometimes referred to as tetanus neurotoxin (TeNT), as it acts on the central nervous system. Tetanospasmin makes its way to the central nervous system via retrograde axonal flow beginning with α- motor neurons found in muscle and ending by binding to gangliosides found in the central nervous system | The Gram positive bacilli ''Clostridium tetani'' is the bacteria responsible for the disease state of tetanus.
