16:40-17:30 Session 15: The future of the "Clostridium" meeting
In the 36 years since the first Clostridium meeting, there has been a significant change in the taxonomic classification of many former Clostridial species.
- What are the key commonalities that tie our community together?
- What should be the focus of future meetings?
- Do we change the meeting name to reflect changes in taxonomy, or keep it for historical reasons?
