Clostridium is a genus of Gram-positive bacteria that includes many important human pathogens. Clostridium perfringens is the most common cause of food poisoning, and can be fatal if not treated. It causes necrotizing enteritis in infants, who have less resistance to the toxins produced by this bacterium. The pathogenesis of C. perfringens has been shown to involve proteolytic activity, which breaks down proteins into smaller parts, and autocatalytic activity, which releases enzymes from within the cell to digest its own peptidoglycan layer. Proteolytic activity has also been shown to be involved in the development of cancer and other diseases such as atherosclerosis and Alzheimer's disease. There are numerous interventions available for preventing or treating clostridium infections: chlorate, streptomycin, penicillin, erythromycin, tetracycline, metronidazole, fluoroquinolones such as
