The asker has not told us whether this relates to foodborne, pediatric or wound botulism - or whether it is a general statement covering all 3 eventualities. I would only use the translation "ingestion" if it is clear that we are talking about foodborne infection.

... after ingestion of the bacteria...

'ingestion' would be an appropriate term here:

"Clostridium Botulinum bacteria grows on food and produces toxins that, when ingested, cause paralysis."

foodborne, pediatric and wound botulism

•There are three major types of human botulism that differ in how they are acquired: foodborne, wound, and infant botulism.
•Foodborne botulism is usually caused by eating contaminated home canned foods.
•Never taste-test food that may have gone bad.
•Wound botulism is due to Clostridium bacteria infecting a wound and releasing the neurotoxin.
•In infant botulism, the baby consumes spores of the bacteria which then grow in the baby's intestine and release the neurotoxin.
•Honey can contain botulism spores and should not be fed to babies less than 1 year of age.
•Early foodborne, pediatric, and wound botulism can be treated with effective antitoxin types to block the action of the neurotoxin.
