腸ちょう詰づめ菌きん

noun

Clostridium botulinum; botulism-causing bacteria

Rare term; in modern Japanese, the katakana form ボツリヌス菌 is overwhelmingly preferred. This kanji spelling is a direct translation of the German 'Wurstvergiftung' (sausage poisoning) and is mainly encountered in older or highly specialized texts.
