Clostridium haemolyticum explained

Clostridium haemolyticum is a species of bacteria in the family of Clostridiaceae.

Based on 16S-rDNA sequence analysis, C. haemolyticum is closely related to C. novyi and C. botulinum.[1] While C. haemolyticum has been suggested to be identical to C. novyi before,[2] it is considered a valid species as of 2022.
