Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 2010 Clostridium difficile infections (CDIs) have emerged as one of the principal threats to the health of hospitalized and immunocompromised patients. The importance of C difficile colonization is increasingly recognized not only as a source for false-positive clinical testing but also as a source of new infections within hospitals and other health care ...

Gastroenterology Clinics of North America, 2001 Clostridium difficile is a major cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea and colitis. The incidence of infection with this organism is increasing in hospitals worldwide, consequent to the widespread use of broad-spectrum antibiotics. Pathogenic strains of C. difficile produce two protein exotoxins, toxin A and toxin B, that cause colonic mucosal injury

REINVESTIGATION OF THE TAXONOMY OF CLOSTRIDIUM BIFERMENTANS AND CLOSTRIDIUM SORDELLII [PDF]
Journal of Medical Microbiology, 1975 The taxonomic relationships between Clostridium bifermentans and C. sordellii were reinvestigated by numerical taxonomy, studies of DNA-DNA homology and DNA duplex thermal stability, and by analysis of cell-wall sugar components. Although the results indicate that both species may be grouped into one geno-species, C.

Plasmids in Clostridium botulinum and related Clostridium species [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1984 Toxigenic Clostridium botulinum and nontoxigenic C. sporogenes, C. subterminale, and C. botulinum-like organisms from a variety of sources were screened for plasmids. Of the 68 toxigenic C. botulinum isolates, 56% carried one or more plasmids, ranging in mass from 2.1 to 81 megadaltons. Within individual groups (based on the type of neurotoxin produced)

Proposal of Neotype for Clostridium thermohydrosulfuricum and the Merging of Clostridium tartarivorum with Clostridium thermosaccharolyticum [PDF]
International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology, 1978 The deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) relationships among strains of the thermophilic species Clostridium thermohydrosulfuricum, C. thermosaccharolyticum, and C. tartarivorum, other saccharolytic, proteolytic, and acetate-producing clostridia, and some sulfate-reducing bacteria were studied by DNA-DNA hybridization experiments.

New Microbes and New Infections, 2018 Culturomics investigates microbial diversity of the human microbiome by combining diversified culture conditions, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry and 16S rRNA gene identification. The present study allowed identification of four putative new Clostridium sensu stricto species: 'Clostridium amazonitimonense ...

Genomics of Clostridium tetani [PDF]
Research in Microbiology, 2015 Genomic information about Clostridium tetani, the causative agent of the tetanus disease, is scarce. The genome of strain E88, a strain used in vaccine production, was sequenced about 10 years ago. One additional genome (strain 12124569) has recently been released. Here we report three new genomes of C.

Clostridium perenne and Clostridium paraperfringens: Later Subjective Synonyms of Clostridium barati [PDF]
International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology, 1982 Identical electrophoretic patterns of cellular proteins were detected with ATCC 27638, ATCC 25782, and ATCC 27639, the type strains of Clostridium barati (Prevot 1938) Holdeman and Moore 1970, C. perenne (Prevot 1940) McClung and McCoy 1957, and C. paraperfringens Nakamura et al.

Clostridium pacaense: a new species within the genus Clostridium
New Microbes and New Infections, 2019 Using the strategy of taxonogenomics, we described Clostridium pacaense sp. nov. strain Marseille-P3100T, a Gram-variable, nonmotile, spore-forming anaerobic bacillus. This strain was isolated from a 3.3-month-old Senegalese girl with clinical aspects of marasmus.

, 2022 Rod Clostridium čine sporogene, gram-pozitivne, anaerobne štapićaste bakterije. Pripadnici ovog roda imaju industrijski i medicinski značaj, obzirom da proizvode opasne toksine. Vrsta Clostridium botulinum široko je rasprostranjena, a proizvodi najotrovniji poznati toksin, botulinski neurotoksin, koji zbog jedinstvenih farmakoloških obilježja ima ...
