Clostridium haemolyticum is a species anaerobic, gram-positive bacteria in the family of Clostridiaceae.
Based on 16S-rDNA sequence analysis, C. haemolyticum is closely related to C. novyi and C. botulinum.[2] While C. haemolyticum has been suggested to be identical to C. novyi before,[3] it is considered a valid species as of 2022.[1]
This species is known to cause bacilliary hemoglobinuria in cattle.[4]
This species is a rare cause of infections in humans. A case of bacteremia with significant intravascular hemolysis due to C. haemolyticum was reported in 2021.[5]
