Rationale for change

The old card was not wrong per se (it was quoting the sketchy pharm video) as clindamycin is effective in treating strep perfringens but it's a bit misleading. "Above the diaphragm" is generally referring to aspiration pneumonia, oral infections, or lung abscesses that are often caused by anaerobes and not gas gangrene. So perfringens wouldn't be the first bug that comes to mind.

Plus there are multiple other cards testing clindamycin treatment for perfringens.
