Notes:
- Clostridium spiroforme is the correct name instead 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.
- According to Bartlett et al. (2022), no evidence of human infection was found for this species. Publication: Bartlett A, Padfield D, Lear L, Bendall R, Vos M. A comprehensive list of bacterial pathogens infecting humans. Microbiology 2022; 168:0.
- The full TRBA 466 classification is: risk group = 1, note = "+".
