Best answer

There are 2 acute fatal diseases of the nervous system caused by bacterial organisms of the genus Clostridia:

  1. "Tetanus disease" is one of the most dramatic and globally prevalent diseases of humans and vertebrate animals, and has been reported for over 24 centuries. The manifestation of the disease, spastic paralysis, is caused by the second most poisonous substance known, the tetanus toxin. The causative agent of tetanus disease is Clostridium tetani.

  2. "Botulism" is a severe neuro-paralysing infection due to a toxin produced by Clostridium botulinum.
