Tetanus is a potentially deadly infection of the nervous system caused by bacteria known as Clostridium tetani (C. tetani). Tetanus can occur when spores of these bacteria enter the body through an open wound that comes in contact with soil contaminated with the bacteria.The bacteria release a poison, called tetanospasmin, into the body, and this blocks the nerve signals from the spinal cord that control muscles.Tetanus causes painful spasms that can be powerful enough to tear your muscles and even cause fractures of bones.he bacteria release a poison, called tetanospasmin, into the body, and this blocks the nerve signals from the spinal cord that control muscles.
