| Clostridium oedematiens | 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 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 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) |
| Clostridium septicum | A species found in malignant oedema of animals, in human war wounds, and in cases of appendicitis; it is pathogenic for guinea pigs, rabbits, mice, and pigeons and produces an exotoxin that is lethal and haemolytic. Synonym: Ghon-Sachs bacillus, Sachs' bacillus, vibrion septique. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Clostridium sordelli | A species causing big head in rams. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Clostridium sphenoides | A species found in gangrenous war wounds; it is not pathogenic for guinea pigs or rabbits. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Clostridium sporogenes | A species found in intestinal contents, gaseous gangrene, and soil; it is not pathogenic for guinea pigs or rabbits, but does produce a slight, temporary, local tumefaction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Clostridium tale | A species found in a case of acute appendicitis and in canned fish; pathogenicity for laboratory animals is variable. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Clostridium tertium | A species found in wounds, but that is nonpathogenic for laboratory animals. (05 Mar 2000) |
| clostridium tetani | The cause of tetanus in humans and domestic animals. It is a common inhabitant of human and horse intestines as well as soil. Two components make up its potent exotoxin activity, a neurotoxin and a haemolytic toxin. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Clostridium tetanoides | A species found in war wounds, postmortem blood cultures, and garden soil. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Clostridium tetanomorphum | A species found in war wounds and soil; it is not pathogenic for rabbits or guinea pigs. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Clostridium thermosaccharolyticum | A species of thermophilic bacteria found in "hard swell" of canned goods; it is not pathogenic to laboratory animals. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Clostridium welchii | 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) |
