Clostridium clostridioforme is an anaerobic, motile, gram-positive bacterium.
Description
Like other species in the genus Clostridium, C. clostridioforme are rod-shaped bacteria which cannot grow in the presence of oxygen.[1] While Clostridium species have cell walls that resemble gram-positive bacteria, C. clostridioforme often appears negative by Gram stain.[2]
History
The organisms now classified as C. clostridioforme were first identified in the 1950s in human and animal feces and assigned to the genus of gram-negative non-spore-forming bacteria Bacteroides.[2] In subsequent years, these bacteria were shown to form spores, causing them to be reclassified in the genus Clostridium.[2]
