Botulinum toxin and nerve cells, illustration
Illustration of botulinum toxin molecules (yellow and green) and neurones (nerve cells). This neurotoxin, produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, enters nerve cells and prevents release of neurotransmitters. This destroys communication pathways between nerve cells and leads to muscle paralysis, respiratory failure and death. Small amounts of botulinum toxin type A are used as a muscle relaxant.
