Health Risks Associated with Clostridium Discussed in New Online Video

Aug. 12, 2012 - PRLog -- Today, the IAQ Video Network and Cochrane & Associates announced the release of another online video to help educate the public about issues that may impact their health.  The latest educational video discusses the bacteria known as Clostridium.

There are approximately 100 species of Clostridium, a genus of Gram-positive bacteria.  Of the 100 or so species, many have been utilized by man for commercial purposes, but others are potentially dangerous human pathogens.

“Many people have heard of some of the diseases caused by Clostridium, such as botulism and tetanus, but many other species of the bacteria can be hazardous to people’s health and cause lesser known diseases,” reported Paul Cochrane, President of Cochrane and Associates, the company behind the IAQ Video Network and the new public outreach video.  “Clostridium difficile, or C. diff, Clostridium perfringens and Clostridium sordellii are all human pathogens.  We hope this new video helps to educate people about Clostridium and how they can help protect their health from this microbial pathogen.”
