Late-onset prosthetic valve endocarditis caused by nontoxigenic Corynebacterium diphtheriae [PDF]
Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2015 In developed countries, Corynebacterium diphtheriae infection is rare due to efficient immunization programs. However, cases of nontoxigenic strains of C. diphtheriae infections, including endocarditis, have been reported recently. Although the incidence
