Overview of clostridial infections


  • Clostridia are spore-forming, gram-positive, anaerobic bacilli present widely in dust, soil, and vegetation and as normal flora in mammalian gastrointestinal tracts. Pathogenic species produce tissue-destructive and neural exotoxins that contribute to disease manifestations.
