Clostrdium perfingens, also known as sulfide-reducing bacteria, is an anaerobic, gram-positive, spore-forming rod-shaped bacterium. Most sulfide-reducing bacteria are not pathogenic. But some produce the most potent biological toxins. For this reason, they can cause food poisoning in particular.
Apart from Clostridium perfingens, C. tetani causes tetanus infections and C. botulinum causes botulism. Spores of sulfide-reducing bacteria are common in human and animal feces, wastewater, and soil. In case of contamination with any of these factors, they develop in foods and can endanger human health.
With the "Sulfite Reducing Bacteria Count" in food and water samples, you can have information about the hygiene conditions of the production areas. It is an important test parameter performed in food and water analysis laboratories.
