Clostridium ventriculi bacteremia following acute colonic pseudo-obstruction: A case report.
Clostridium ventriculi (formerly Sarcina ventriculi) is a Gram-positive, obligate anaerobic coccus. Human infections due to this bacterium have rarely been reported, its involvement in the development of gastric ulcers and perforation has been suggested.
