| Clostridium novyi | A species consisting of three types, A, B, and C; type A, from a case of gaseous gangrene and from human necrotic hepatitis, produces gamma-toxin (a haemolytic lecithinase); B, from black disease (infectious necrotic hepatitis) of sheep, produces beta-toxin (a haemolytic lecithinase); and C, found in bacillary osteomyelitis of water buffaloes, does not produce toxin. Synonym: Clostridium oedematiens. (05 Mar 2000) |

| Clostridium histolyticum collagenase |
any of several forms of microbial collagenase isolated from Clostridium histolyticum that catalyze the cleavage of collagen into small fragments, cleaving it in the triple helical region N-terminal to glycine residues. The extracellular Zn 2 + enzyme degrades the collagen framework of muscles, facilitating the spread of gas gangrene by C. histolyticum.

| Clostridium perfringens |
Clostridium perfringens is an anaerobic, gram positive, spore-forming, rod shaped bacterium. Clostridia are ubiquitous and found in soil, decaying vegetation, marine sediment, and the intestinal tract of humans, other vertebrates, and insects. They are also commonly recovered from infected sites but usually as a component of a polymicrobial flora, which makes their role in pathogenesis difficult to establish. ...

| Clostridium botulinum |
In adults, Clostridium botulinum (C. botulinum) itself does not make people ill, but the poisons produced by the pathogen do. * Canned (especially home canned) low acid foods may contain C. botulinum, however some cases occur from eating raw or parboiled meats from marine mammals. * Symptoms can include double vision, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, dizziness, headache and dryness in the throat and nose. In extreme cases, symptoms may progress to respiratory failure. ...
