Welch S Bacillus

Welch S Bacillus - see Clostridium.

Clostridium is a genus of Gram-positive, anaerobic, spore-forming, rod-shaped bacteria in the family Clostridiaceae. Some Clostridium species are pathogens and cause diseases such as botulism, tetanus, and gas gangrene. Welch's bacillus, described by William Welch in 1892, was subsequently reclassified as Clostridium perfringens, one of the most common species of this genus of bacteria.

What are Wells' bacillus?

**Bacillus welchii** are microorganisms that can cause staphylococcal infection in humans. They are highly resistant to external factors and live in the environment for a long time. But compared to staphylococci of other etiologies, they have less pathogenic properties. For example, Welch-4 bacilli infect subcutaneous tissue and respond well to treatment. But other species are resistant to almost all antibiotics.

Why are Welch's bacillus dangerous? Microbes have a fairly high ability to resist the human immune system and subsequently leads to the development of various forms of infections. * In small quantities they can cause “minor” infections that do not cause serious harm to health, but in large quantities they can be life-threatening.
