Clostridium Septicum And Colonic Adenocarcinoma

 

 

Clostridium septicum is known for:

• High mortality infections
• Strong association with:
  • Colon malignancy and Immunosuppression
• Clinical presentations:
  • Spontaneous gas gangrene
  • Sepsis

   

  Pathophysiology: Colon Malignancy

• Tumor → mucosal ulceration
• ↓ oxygen + ↑ acidity
• → ideal for Clostridium septicum spores
• → bacterial translocation → bacteremia / gas gangrene
