Strain Profile
· NCBI Species Taxon
1502
NCBI Taxonomy's node for this strain's species, not for the strain itself — NCBI has no strain-level node for it. A different identifier from the culture-collection deposit numbers below, which name a physical stock rather than a taxonomic node.

Environmental
Where this strain was first isolated, curated from the literature and culture-collection catalogs. It describes provenance only — not suitability, and not benefit.
How we classify this →
Sequenced
Whether a public genome assembly is linked for this strain. Without one the genome screens cannot run. It is not a verdict on the organism.

Clostridium perfringens is a spore-forming bacterium recognized as a common cause of food poisoning and gas gangrene, and is not a probiotic organism. It appears in this strain index as a reference or challenge pathogen — used by researchers to evaluate whether probiotic or beneficial bacterial strains can inhibit its growth or toxin production. No strain-specific research papers were identified for it in this index, and it has no health-supporting probiotic application.
