Clostridium tertium is an anaerobic, motile, gram-positive bacterium. Although it can be considered an uncommon pathogen in humans, there has been substantial evidence of septic episodes in human beings.[1] C. tertium is easily decolorized in Gram-stained smears and can be mistaken for a Gram-negative organism.[2] However, C. tertium does not grow on selective media for Gram-negative organisms.[2]
