Early work with Clostridium tetani and Corynebacterium diphtheriae demonstrated

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Early work with Clostridium tetani led to the development of the tetanus vaccine, while early work with Corynebacterium diphtheriae led to the development of the diphtheria vaccine. Therefore, option B is the correct answer. Option A is not quite accurate, although cooking food thoroughly can prevent foodborne illnesses caused by bacteria, this was not the primary focus of the research with these two bacteria. Option C is also relevant to these bacteria since they are both spore-forming, but it does not fully capture the significance of the research. Option D is only partially correct as it does not acknowledge that the bacteria themselves are also capable of causing disease, not just the poisonous substances they produce.
