Clostridium ramosum DSM 1402. Clostridium ramosum DSM 1402 is a member of the normal flora of the human gut of adults and infants. This strain has also been implicated in a number of infections such as pulmonary gangrene, appendicitis, intestinal infections, and septicemia. Clostridium ramosum DSM 1402 is the type strain and is part of a comprehensive, sequence-based survey of members of the normal human gut microbiota. A joint effort of the WU-GSC and the Center for Genome Sciences at Washington University School of Medicine, the purpose of this survey is to provide the general scientific community with a broad view of the gene content of 100 representatives of the major divisions represented in the intestine's microbial community. This information should provide a frame of reference for analyzing metagenomic studies of the human gut microbiome. Less...
