The Importance of Clostridiums and Clostridial Toxins in the Prevention and Treatment of Diseases of Animals and Human

Introduction and Objectives: bacteria, as living beings and complementary to human life, have always been the focus of attention of specialists and manufacturers of biological products. Clostridium bacteria have different species and the toxins produced by these species are one of the most dangerous and specific bacterial toxins. The production of toxins has a different constructional and functional nature, which makes them extremely hazardous and also very useful. Materials and Methods: various uses of toxins and economic look at these toxins have led to more applied studies on these toxins for treatment and various cases. For example, the use of Clostridium novyi NT for the treatment of cancer or the use of Clostridium botulinum neurotoxin in treatment and cosmetic products applications are economical interest of biological producers. Results: research on the functional and economic aspects of Clostridium bacteria and their toxins can create, in addition to creating targeted research projects for researchers and students, producing highly biotechnological products with high added value in the country. Research area into the isolation, screening and production of bacteria, as well as the production of various toxins, isolation and purification are very important and economical for researcher and manufacturers. Conclusion: these activities, in addition to improving the quality of research on bacterial products, can be a good opportunity for the country to produce knowledge and the therapeutic and biological products of this bacterium for the purpose of treatment and economics.
