Botulism is a rare but serious paralytic disease caused by a bacterial toxin usually produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. There are four generally recognized naturally-occurring types; foodborne, wound, infant, and, rarely, adult intestinal colonization. Iatrogenic and inhalational botulism may also occur.
Clostridium contains around 100 species that include common free-living bacteria, as well as important pathogens. The five main species responsible for disease in humans are: 1  C. botulinum can produce botulinum toxin in food or wounds and can cause botulism. C. botulinum can produce botulinum toxin in food or wounds and can cause botulism. 2  Honey sometimes contains spores of C. botulinum, which may cause infant botulism in humans one year old and younger. 3  The toxin eventually paralyzes the infant's breathing muscles.
