Clostridium tetani look very clean, large, and dark colored on a gram stain. They look like this because of the way the light from the sun hits them when on a gram stain.
No, Clostridium difficile is a gram-positive bacterium.
Clostridium is a Gram-positive bacterium, which means it has a thick layer of peptidoglycan in its cell wall that retains the crystal violet dye during the Gram staining process, resulting in a purple color.
Clostridium perfringens is a Gram-positive bacterium, meaning it will stain purple/blue with the Gram stain procedure due to its thick peptidoglycan layer.
Bacillus cereus is a spore-forming microbe that is gram-positive, not gram-negative. Gram-negative spore-forming microbes include Clostridium botulinum and Clostridium tetani.
Clostridium perfringens is responsible for gram-positive rods in unheated hot dogs. It is a common cause of food poisoning and can survive the cooking process if the hot dog is not heated thoroughly.
Tetanus is caused by the bacterium Clostridium tetani, which is a Gram-positive bacterium.

Botulism is caused by the bacterium Clostridium botulinumand all Clostridia species are Gram positive, so the organisms causing botulism would give a Gram positive result :)

Clostridium botulinum. It is a gram-positive rod, obligate anaerobe, and spore-forming.
The term 'clostridium difficile' is the name for a strand of Gram-positive bacteria. This type of bacteria is well known for causing bad cases of diarrhea.
no. in general, only gram-positive bacteria such as Bacillus and Clostridium produce endospores.
Yes, with a minor correction. Tetanus is a disease, not a type of bacteria; so technically you can't say that tetanus is Gram positive, since the term "Gram positive" can only be applied to bacteria.So to be correct, you'd say that the species of bacteria that causes tetanus, Clostridium tetani, is Gram positive.
Bacillus and Clostridium are the two main groups of gram-positive bacteria that are capable of forming endospores. Endospores are dormant, resistant structures that allow these bacteria to survive in harsh environments.
