Paraclostridium is a genus of Gram-positive obligately anaerobic rod-shaped bacteria.

Taxonomy

The genus contains several species originally placed in Clostridium, which the genus name still refers to. Paeniclostridium was separately described as an independent genus in 2016 moving P. ghonii and P. sordellii from Clostridium. Based on additional research of the genomes of Peptostreptococcaceae species, Paeniclostridium was brought into synonymy with Paraclostridium.{{cite journal |last1=Bello |first1=Sarah |last2=McQuay |first2=Sarah |last3=Rudra |first3=Bashudev |last4=Gupta |first4=Radhey |title=Robust demarcation of the family Peptostreptococcaceae and its main genera based on phylogenomic studies and taxon-specific molecular markers |journal=International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology |volume=74 |issue=2 |year=2024 |doi=10.1099/ijsem.0.006247 |pmid=38319314 |doi-access=free}}
