| Genus Clostridium Prazmowski 1880 |
| Rods, usually Gram-positive, the majority of species form oval/spherical endospores that usually distend the cell, usually catalase negative, most species are obligately anaerobic, although tolerance to oxygen varies widely, growth is most rapid at pH 6.5-7 and 30-37 ºC. The spores resist 10 min. at 80 ºC. Clostridium spp. are resistant at colistin and sensitive to vancomycin. |
