Characterization of OxyR as a Negative Transcriptional Regulator That Represses Catalase Production in Corynebacterium diphtheriae [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Corynebacterium diphtheriae and Corynebacterium glutamicum each have one gene (cat) encoding catalase. In-frame Δcat mutants of C. diphtheriae and C. glutamicum were hyper-sensitive to growth inhibition and killing by H(2)O(2). In C.

Virulence and mutations analysis based on the whole genome of a Brazilian Corynebacterium diphtheriae strain isolated from a cutaneous infection [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyCorynebacterium diphtheriae is the main etiological agent of diphtheria, a potentially fatal disease whose most severe signs and symptoms result from the action of an exotoxin, the diphtheria toxin (DT). Although non-toxigenic C. diphtheriae strains have

Bacteremia complicated with pneumonia caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae
Infectious Medicine, 2022 Due to the use of vaccines, infections caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae are now rare. Here we describe a case of bacteremia complicated with pneumonia caused by C. diphtheriae in a 69-year-old male patient.
