Overview

  • Clostridium boliviensis is a Gram-positive, anaerobic, bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. Clostridium boliviensis is probably a rare gut coloniser.



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces and sludge, Bolivia. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
