CLOSTRIDIUM

Clostridium

Clostridium species are gram-positive, spore-forming bacteria and are present almost everywhere in the environment. Some Clostridium species are of importance as pathogens, including Clostridium botulinum, Clostridium perfringens and Clostridium estertheticum. If food is not cooled sufficiently, it can result in a contamination, which can cause serious illnesses. The bacteria are heat-resistant and thus, can also be contained in thoroughly heated food products.
