In tetanus, what happens when the spores (dormant form of bacteria Clostridium tetani) enter the body?

ٹیٹنس میں ، جب بیجوں (بیکٹیریا کلوسٹریڈیم ٹیٹانی کی غیر فعال شکل) جسم میں داخل ہوتا ہے تو کیا ہوتا ہے؟
Answer: They germinate into vegetative bacteria.
Explanation

When Clostridium tetani spores enter the body (especially through wounds), they germinate in anaerobic conditions into active (vegetative) bacteria.

These bacteria then produce a neurotoxin (tetanospasmin), causing muscle stiffness and spasms.
