Paraclostridium sordellii 8483 Genome sequencing and assembly. Paraclostridium sordellii 8483

Clostridium sordellii 8483 is a human blood isolate. C. sordellii is closely related to Clostridium difficile. C. sordellii antitoxin can neutralize the cytotoxic effect of stool specimens collected from patients with Clostridium difficile–associated pseudomembranous colitis. The genome sequence of C. sordellii will be used for comparative genome analysis.
