Clostridium sordelli infection.

D A Browdie, J H Davis, M J Koplewitz

    The Journal of Trauma
    |June 1, 1975

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Clostridium sordelli causes soft tissue infections. This organism may be lethal due to toxin-mediated edema and fluid sequestration, as shown in a mouse model.

    Area of Science:

    • Microbiology
    • Toxicology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Clostridium sordelli is a rare cause of human infection.
    • Soft tissue infections can lead to severe complications.

    Observation:

    • A human case of Clostridium sordelli soft tissue infection was analyzed.
    • A mouse model was used to study the organism's toxin production.

    Findings:

    • Clostridium sordelli infection can cause widespread, toxin-mediated edema.
    • Fluid sequestration in the "third-space" may contribute to lethal effects.
    • Experimental data correlated with the human case observations.

    Implications:

    • Understanding the mechanism of Clostridium sordelli pathogenicity is crucial for treatment.
  • This study highlights the potential role of toxins in severe soft tissue infections.
  • Further research into Clostridium sordelli toxins may reveal therapeutic targets.
