Overview

  • Clostridium mediterraneense, (aka Clostridium mediterraneense), is a Gram-positive, spore-forming, strictly anaerobic, motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 2 gut microbiome compilation studies or metastudies. Clostridium mediterraneense is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Ndongo2017b)



  • This organism has been recovered from the faeces of a man with diabetes. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
