Clostridium contains around 250 species that include common free-living bacteria, as well as important pathogens. The main species responsible for disease in humans are:
1. Clostridium botulinum can produce botulinum toxin in food or wounds and can cause botulism. This same toxin is known as Botox and is used in cosmetic surgery to paralyze facial muscles to reduce the signs of aging; it also has numerous other therapeutic uses.
2. Clostridium perfringens causes a wide range of symptoms, from food poisoning to cellulitis, fasciitis, necrotic enteritis and gas gangrene.
3. Clostridium tetani causes tetanus.
4. Clostridium sordellii (now Paeniclostridium) can cause a fatal infection in exceptionally rare cases after medical abortions.
