  • Title: Taxonomic position of lecithinase-negative strains of Clostridium sordellii.
    Author: Popoff MR, Guillou JP, Carlier JP.
    Journal: J Gen Microbiol; 1985 Jul; 131(7):1697-703. PubMed ID: 4045425.
    Abstract:
    Eleven out of 43 strains of Clostridium sordellii from clinical sources did not produce lecithinase activity and were not toxic to mice. However, these strains did belong to the C. sordellii group and could readily be differentiated from C. bifermentans and C. difficile on the basis of DNA-DNA homologies, carbohydrate fermentation patterns, enzyme activities, GLC analysis of fatty acid fermentation products and the electrophoretic analysis of whole cell protein extracts.
