Solution
Tetanus is caused by the bacterium Clostridium tetani, which produces a toxin. In the case of exposure to tetanus (e.g., a deep wound), preformed antibodies in the form of tetanus immunoglobulin (TIG) are administered. This provides passive immunity, quickly neutralizing the toxin until the person's immune system can respond.
