C. histolyticum Gas gangrene C. septicum Gas gangrene From the standpoint of metabolism, there appears to be a delineation between clostridia that are principally saccharolytic and those described as proteolytic. Genetic studies have demonstrated that strains falling into these two groups are unrelated...
The genusClostridiumencompasses over 60 species of Gram-positive, anaerobic, spore-forming rods that cause a variety of infections in humans and animals. Strains ofClostridia, such asClostridium perfringens,Clostridium histolyticum,Clostridium septicum,Clostridium novyi, andClostridium sordellii, cause aggressi...
Such species as C. septicum and C. histolyticum have been shown to infect the body through wounds causing gas gangrene. Many of such species are opportunistic in nature and were particularly prevalent in cases of battlefield injuries. *Gas Gangrene- Also known as clostridial myonecrosis, is a ...

To avoid the use of pathogenic species, such asClostridium histolyticumandClostridium tetani, the use ofClostridium butyricumM-55 was investigated by Möse and Möse in 1959. Significant oncolytic effects were observed after injecting spores into animals and later into human patients[27–29]. Thank...
