Clostridium vulturis is a gram-positive, rod-shaped, spore-forming, anaerobic bacterium, originally found in the intestine of a cinereous vulture in Korea.[1][2] Part of the Clostridium genus, C. vulturis is closely related to Clostridium subterminale (96.9% genome similarity), Clostridium thiosulfatireducens (96.7% genome similarity), Clostridium sulfidigenes (96.6% genome similarity),[1] and Clostridium amazonense (with 97.4% genome similarity).[3]
