Fig. 2. Close up of colonies of Clostridium tetani, strain PAT 2483/10, cultivated anaerobically on FAA plates during 1 week at 37°C. A streak was performed with a plastic loop to show that bacteria are collected at the edges of the streak (see the arrow). The total length of the scale bar corresponds to 5 mm. The bacteria originate from a closed case of wound infection of a sheep. Date: 2010-06-10.
