Rarely multiplying in vivo because its members are obligate anaerobes, its dificile species can cause intestinal mucosa damage, while the septicum and perfringens species are the causative agents of gangrene.
The stercorarium species is a cellulolytic hyperthermophile with the highest known maximum temperature of survival, while the pasteurianum species was the first free-living nitrogen fixer discovered. Its constituents cause disease via the production of zinc-endopeptidases (*) that cleave a peptide bond in a SNARE protein. Rarely multiplying in vivo because its members are obligate anaerobes, its dificile species can cause intestinal mucosa damage, while the septicum and perfringens species are the causative agents of gangrene. FTP, name this genus of gram-positive, spore-forming bacteria which includes the species that cause tetanus and botulism.
