| clostridiopeptidase A | <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) |
| clostridiopeptidase 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 | <bacteria> Genus of gram-positive anaerobic spore forming bacilli commonly found in soil. Many species produce exotoxins of great potency, the best known being clostridium botulinum and clostridium tetani. (15 Jan 1998) |
| Clostridium bifermentans | A species found in putrid meat and gaseous gangrene; also commonly found in soil, faeces, and sewage. Its pathogenicity varies from strain to strain. (05 Mar 2000) |
| clostridium botulinum | The aetiologic agent of botulism in man, wild ducks, and other waterfowl. It is also responsible for certain forms of forage poisoning in horses and cattle. The bacterium produces a powerful exotoxin that is resistant to proteolytic digestion. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Clostridium butyricum | A species which occurs in naturally soured milk, in naturally fermented starchy plant substances, and in soil; it is not pathogenic. It is the type species of the genus Clostridium. (05 Mar 2000) |
