1. The anaerobic gram-positive spectrum was dominated by members of the genera Eubacterium (19 isolates), Peptostreptococcus (16 isolates), and Actinomyces (12 isolates).

2. Hypernyms ("Botulinus" is a kind of): eubacteria; eubacterium; true bacteria (a large group of bacteria having rigid cell walls; motile types have flagella)

3. Botulinum - anaerobic bacterium producing Botulin the toxin that causes botulism Botulinus , Clostridium Botulinum eubacteria , eubacterium , true bacteria - a large group of bacteria having rigid cell walls; motile types have flagella

4. Botulinus, Clostridium botulinum eubacteria , eubacterium , true bacteria - a large group of bacteria having rigid cell walls; motile types have flagella genus Clostridium - anaerobic or micro-aerophilic rod-shaped or spindle-shaped saprophytes; nearly cosmopolitan in soil, animal intestines, and dung

5. Lincomycin is active against the following anaerobic organisms: anaerobic gram-negative bacilli such as Bacteroides species and Fusobacterium species; anaerobic gram-positive nonspore-forming bacilli such as Propionibacterium, Eubacterium, and Actinomyces species; anaerobic and microaerophilic gram-positive cocci such as Peptococcus species, Peptostreptococcus species and microaerophilic streptococci; and Clostridium species.
