Clostridium species are anaerobic spore-forming Gram-positive rod-shaped bacteria. These bacteria can tolerate a variety of environmental conditions, and the spores are tolerant to heating including boiling. There are two main foodborne pathogenic types: Clostridium botulinum and Clostridium perfringens. Th...

C. botulinum, which grows in improperly canned food, produces neurotoxins that when ingested cause the form of food poisoning known as botulism. C. difficile, commonly known as C. diff, is usually transmitted in hospitals and nursing homes as a result of poor personal hygiene and insufficient ...

Aside from gram staining, what are the other steps taken for clostridium identification? I know that if someone were infected with a pathological bacteria, like those that cause botulism or tetanus, then you can tell from their symptoms, but surely there are other medical steps for identifying ...
