B. Seol, M. Duras Gomercic, T. Naglic, T. Gomercic, A. Galov, H. Gomercic (2006) Isolation of Clostridium tertium from a striped dolphin (Stenella coeruleoalba) in the Adriatic Sea. Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 42: 709-711 Abstract: Bacteriologic examination of an abscess found between blubber and musculature of a striped dolphin (Stenella coerulaoalba) found dead on 30 March 2002 in the Adriatic Sea, Croatia, was performed and an aerotolerant, nontoxogenic Clostridium tertium was isolated in pure culture. National Collections of Industrial Food and Marine Bacteria (NCIMB Ltd., Aberdeen, Scotland, UK) confirmed the results. Sequencing results showed it to be C. tertium with 100% similarity. The strain was named Clostridium tertium strain Zagreb, acceded to the culture collection and assigned the accession number NCIMB 13970. This is the first record of. C. tertium in marine mammals.
