Description
Clostridium piliforme is an obligate intracellular, spore-forming bacterium. In its vegetative form (within the host) it is a gram-negative, motile rod. Infectious spores are shed into the environment, where they can remain at room temperature for at least a year. Spores can be inactivated with heat, sodium hypochlorite, or peracetic acid.
