Clostridium porci is a species of Gram-positive, strictly anaerobic, spore-forming, rod-shaped bacteria in the genus Clostridium. It was first isolated from the gastrointestinal tract of a pig in Germany.[1] Its name is derived from Latin porcus meaning "pig", reflecting the host source of isolation.
