| Clostridium haemolyticum | A species found in cattle dying of icterohemoglobinuria; it is pathogenic and toxic for guinea pigs and rabbits and produces an unstable, haemolytic toxin. (05 Mar 2000) |

| Clostridium histolyticum | A species found in war wounds, where it induces necrosis of tissue; it produces a cytolytic exotoxin that causes local necrosis and sloughing on injection; it is not toxic on feeding; it is pathogenic for small laboratory animals. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Clostridium histolyticum collagenase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of collagen, preferentially at peptide bonds on the amino side of a glycylprolyl sequence. Synonym: clostridiopeptidase A, collagenase A, collagenase I. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Clostridium histolyticum proteinase B | A cysteine proteinase cleaving preferentially at the carboxyl side of arginyl and lysyl residues. It also has an esterase activity. Synonym: clostridiopeptidase B, Clostridium histolyticum proteinase B. (05 Mar 2000) |
| clostridium infections | Infections with bacteria of the genus clostridium. (12 Dec 1998) |

| Clostridium nigrificans | Former name for Desulfotomaculum nigrificans. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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) |

Synonym: Clostridium oedematiens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Clostridium parabotulinum | A species containing organisms formerly referred to as Clostridium botulinum types A and B; the types are identified by protection tests with known type antitoxin; it produces a powerful exotoxin and is pathogenic for man and other animals. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Clostridium paraputrificum | A species found in faeces, especially those of infants, gaseous gangrene, and postmortem fluid and tissue cultures; it is not pathogenic for rabbits or guinea pigs. (05 Mar 2000) |
| clostridium perfringens | The most common aetiologic agent of gas gangrene. It is differentiable into several distinct types based on the distribution of twelve different toxins. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Clostridium ramosum | A species found in the natural cavities of man and other animals as well as in sea water; it is also found in association with mastoiditis, otitis, pulmonary gangrene, putrid pleurisy, appendicitis, intestinal infections, balanitis, liver abscess, osteomyelitis, septicaemia, and urinary infections, as well as in the vagina and in faeces. It was formerly the type species of the obsolete genus Ramibacterium. (05 Mar 2000) |
