Clostridium scindens, also known as C. scindens, is a species of bacteria in the genus Clostridium. Samples of this species were first isolated from human feces.[1]
C. scinden is capable of converting primary bile acids to toxic secondary bile acids, as well as converting glucocorticoids to androgens by side-chain cleavage.[2]
Clostridia (members of the genus Clostridium) are anaerobic, motile bacteria, ubiquitous in nature, and especially prevalent in soil. Under the microscope, they appear as long, irregular (often drumstick- or spindle-shaped) cells with a bulge at their terminal ends.
