Clostridium cadaveris is a strict anaerobic Gram-positive rod that is the most prominent bacterium during the decay of dead bodies. We present 2 rare cases of bacteraemia with C. cadaveris. The source of both infectious episodes was most probably of gastrointestinal origin.

BACKGROUND Clostridium cadaveris is a motile, anaerobic, gram-positive, spore-forming bacillus usually found in soil. However, rare cases of opportunistic infections have been documented in immunosuppressed individuals. This report details the case of an immunocompetent young patient who developed septic arthritis of the knee after a traumatic injury involving a rusty nail.

This study focuses on developing a mathematical model to assess interaction among acidogenic bacteria during the anaerobic degradation of two substrates. Clostridium cadaveris and Clostridium sporogenes were cultured in various combinations with glucose and peptone. Parameter estimates are given for both conventional Monod parameters from single substrate-single species cultures and sum kinetics with interaction parameters obtained from dual substrate-single species cultures.

We report the complete genome sequence of Clostridium cadaveris IFB3C5, a strain isolated from the resected tumor of a treatment naive colorectal cancer patient. This genome is comprised of a singular chromosome of approximately 3.63 Mbp in length, contains two plasmids, and has an overall mean GC content of 31.
