Synonyms:

Name	Kind
Clostridium sardiniensis Prévot 1938 (Approved Lists 1980)	heterotypic synonym, inaccurate spelling

Notes:
- According to Wang et al. (2005), this species is a later heterotypic synonym of Clostridium sardiniense corrig. Prévot 1938 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Wang X, Maegawa T, Karasawa T, Ozaki E, Nakamura S. Clostridium sardiniense Prevot 1938 and Clostridium absonum Nakamura et al. 1973 are heterotypic synonyms: evidence from phylogenetic analyses of phospholipase C and 16S rRNA sequences, and DNA relatedness. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2005; 55:1193-1197.

- Clostridium absonum is the correct name if this species is regarded as a separate species (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another species whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority) within a separate genus Clostridium.
