<abstract><p>A case of pneumonia with associated empyema caused by <italic>Clostridium bifermentans</italic>
is described. <italic>C bifermentans</italic>
is an anaerobic, spore-forming, Gram-positive bacillus. This organism is infrequently reported as a cause of infection in humans, and older publications tended to regard it as nonpathogenic. However, in more recent reports, <italic>C bifermentans</italic>
has been documented as a cause of septic arthritis, osteomyelitis, soft tissue infection, abdominal infections, brain abscess, bacteremia and endocarditis. The present case is the third reported case of empyema caused by <italic>C bifermentans,</italic>
and it serves to further define the spectrum of illness due to this uncommon organism.</p>
