<em>Clostridium tetani</em> bacterium would be most likely to produce a molecule  tetanospasmin toxin that could be modified to create a drug for treatment of muscle spasms (uncontrolled contractions)

An infection known as tetanus is brought on by the <em>Clostridium tetani</em> bacteria. When bacteria enter the body, they release a toxin that makes muscles contract painfully.

Tetanus is frequently referred to as "lockjaw" since one of its most noticeable symptoms is a tightening of the jaw muscles. Tetanus infection can cause major health issues, such as difficulty opening one's mouth, swallowing difficulty, and breathing difficulties.

Tetanus does not transmit from individual to individual, making it distinct from other infections that can be prevented by vaccination.
