Clostridium adalah genus dari bakteri Gram-positif, yang meliputi beberapa patogen manusia yang signifikan, terutama agen penyebab botulisme. Mereka anaerob obligat yang mampu menghasilkan endospora. Sel-sel reproduksi normal dari Clostridium, disebut bentuk vegetatif, berbentuk batang,^[1] yang memberi mereka nama mereka, dari bahasa Yunani κλωστήρ atau spindle. Endospora Clostridium memiliki bowling pin atau bentuk botol yang berbeda, membedakan mereka dari endospora bakteri lainnya, yang biasanya berbentuk bulat telur. Spesies Clostridium menghuni tanah dan saluran usus hewan, termasuk manusia.^[2] Clostridium merupakan penghuni normal dari saluran reproduksi lebih rendah perempuan sehat.^[3][4]

Pada tahun 1924, Ida A. Bengtson memisahkan mikroorganisme van Ermengem dari kelompok Bacillus dan memasukkannya ke dalam genus Clostridium.^{[butuh rujukan]}

Clostridium dapat bergerak dengan flagela peritrik. Beberapa spesiesnya dapat memproduksi asam butirat, asam asetat, CO₂, H₂, CH₄, dan terkadang eksotoksin. Beberapa spesies memiliki kemampuan proteolitik.^[5]
