Has anyone herd of the germ called Clostridium Para Putreficans?

Question

Has anyone had this germ and what effects does it have on your body.

Answer 1

Clostridium are a family of bacteria which live in anaerobic conditions (without air). Many of the rod shaped bacteria such as clostridium botulini produce potent toxins which can kill;
I have never heard of the para putreficans sub catergory;

Answer 2

I've spent some time searching for it, and I am quite familiar with the clostridium genus. However I have drawn a blank. I think you may have mis-spelt it since i cannot find it in any literature.

That being said, I am a man of words like one of the other answers: Para putreficans. Para from greek and latin origins in english means similar or near to. And of cause putreficans meaning to rot.

Therefore you get a bacterium belonging to the Clostridium genus that is involed in the biodegredation process in soil. Look for info on C. perfringens as I suspect they will be similar organisms (if not one in the same).

Answer 3

I looked up Clostridium p* NCBI's taxonomy browser (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/taxonomyhome.html/) and came up with two possibilities.

Clostridium paraputrificum, which was first identified in 1889, and named C. paraputrificum in 1906. It is a soil bacteria that has the ability to produce hydrogen from chitin (ref 1). It can be found in the GI tract of humans (ref 2), it's considered non-toxigenic (ref 3) but has been seen in septic infections in comprimised patients (ref 4).

A second possibility is Clostridium putrefaciens
The name dates back to 1911, and it appears to be a food spoilage organism (ref 5) and apparently comes from contaminated animal tissue (ref 6)

Your bacterial name seems to be a combination of the above two. In either case, it is most certainly not a synonym of C. perfringens (as can be verified on the C. perfringens page on the taxbrowser).

Answer 4

Clostridium is a large genus of Gram-positive bacteria, belonging to the Firmicutes. They are obligate anaerobes capable of producing endospores.[1] Individual cells are rod-shaped, which gives them their name, from the Greek kloster or spindle. These characteristics traditionally defined the genus, but they are not phylogenetically significant, and many species originally classified as Clostridium have been moved elsewhere.

Clostridium includes common free-living bacteria as well as important pathogens.[2] There are four main species responsible for disease in humans:

C. botulinum, an organism producing a toxin in food that causes botulism.[3]
C. difficile, which can overgrow other bacteria in the gut during antibiotic therapy, can cause pseudomembranous colitis.[4]
C. perfringens, causes a wide range of symptoms, from food poisoning to gas gangrene. Also responsible for enterotoxemia (also known as "overeating disease" or "pulpy kidney disease") in sheep and goats.[5]
C. tetani, the causative organism of tetanus (lockjaw).[6]
Other important species include C. acetobutylicum, also known as the Weizmann organism, which was first used by Chaim Weizmann to produce acetone and biobutanol from starch in 1916 for the production of gunpowder and TNT. C. sordelli has been linked to the deaths of more than a dozen women after childbirth.


Some species are Deadly SuperBugs like Clostridium Difficile

Answer 6

Vultures Dweebs Liars/Cons Fabricators that is as spectacular as i'd properly be on an afternoon like in the present day! the finished component about those 4 communities is that any of the words are interchangable!!! honestly, i might want to easily call them human beings! some are strong & some are not so strong.

Answer 7

Clostridium is a type of bacteria which grows in anaerobic enviroment (no oxygen). I am not aware of that sub type, but putrefecans means "to rot" in latin.

Answer 8

...well Clostridium (tetani) is the bacteria that causes tetanus (lockjaw) in humans..
never heard of ..para putreficans

Answer 9

Clostridium Para Putreficans? your right he is a gem, i love his poems
