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.
The botulinum toxin, produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, causes the illness Botulism most commonly from consuming food contaminated by the bacteria.
