title: First identification of Clostridium celerecrescens in liquid drained from an abscess.
abstract: We present the first report on the characterization of Clostridium celerecrescens isolated from liquid drained via abscess puncture from a 45-year-old man. The organism was identified by sequence comparison of 16S rRNA genes.
