Shouldn't the information in the Species info-box (regarding dog diseases) be in the main text? --ChrisDBull 13:37, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
"A post-mortem on an individual who has died of Clostridium bacteria will reveal that they have blood-filled lungs or intestines." Perhaps this sentence was inferred from a House episode... 158.42.188.203 11:09, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
- it says that C. perfringens causes gas gangrene. Is this true? I thought gas gangrene was only from Group A Strep....I am only in first year though, so I would appreciate a correction if I'm wrong. I just checked it's wrong. Sorry!
[edit] Accessibility
This article is painfully tersely written. Can someone with knowledge summarise what it is/does/infects in layman terms first, then give the scientific description? It's going to be mentioned on British tv tonight (4 Dec) and people might want to actually have an idea what the reality is - the programme will likely be little more than FUD.
[edit] pictures would be helpful
anyone got any good pictures? I heard in class today that these are "boxcar-like" gram positive rods, but I want to see it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cajolingwilhelm (talk • contribs) 18:36, 16 January 2007 (UTC).
[edit] More members of this genus
I would add these myself but I'm not sure if they have been left out of the infobox in this article for a reason or not (I have not done any work on the biology stuff here). There is Clostridium thermocellum which we have an article on already, as well as Clostridium carboxidivorans, which I found a journal article about if anyone wants to start an article on it. -AndrewBuck (talk) 03:50, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
