Clostridium

Bacteria belonging to the Clostridium genus have overall been linked with high-protein, low-carbohydrate diets, which are recommended for healthy weight loss. However, some species, particularly Clostridium perfringens and Clostridium difficile, are known pathogens and often cause severe digestive issues. If your pet has a high level of Clostridium, consider adding a prebiotic supplement - they are associated with decreases in the Clostridium genus as a whole.
