| Spectramast LC is a broad spectrum antibiotic that has shown strong efficacy against gram negative bacteria. The genus Clostridium is a phylogenetically heterogeneous group of anaerobic, endospore-forming, rod-shaped bacteria; they are usually gram positive, but some species may stain gram variable or gram negative (1,2).
