An Uncommon Case of Ecthyma Gangrenosum in a Three‐Year‐Old Immunocompetent Child

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
The necrotic lesions on day 10. ABSTRACT Ecthyma gangrenosum (EG) is a rare cutaneous finding of Pseudomonas aeruginosa sepsis, typically in immunocompromised patients. We present EG with septic shock in a previously healthy three‐year‐old child who presented with rapidly progressing necrotic eschars and severe neutropenia.

Integrated Molecular Docking and Gene Expression Analyses Suggest a Potential Interaction Between Diphtheria Toxin and Bcl‐2 in HT‐29 Colorectal Cancer Cells

Journal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology, Volume 40, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study explores the interaction between Diphtheria Toxin (DT) and Bcl‐2 in HT‐29 cells. Integrating molecular docking with gene expression analysis, we demonstrate DT's high‐affinity binding to Bcl‐2 and a significant downregulation of BCL2 mRNA. These findings suggest that DT modulates anti‐apoptotic pathways, influencing colorectal cancer cell ...

Diphtheria Vaccination Coverage and Correlation With Multidimensional Poverty Among Children in Nigeria

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
Diphtheria vaccination coverage among Nigerian children remains suboptimal (56%). Coverage is significantly lower in Northern states and inversely correlated with multidimensional poverty. Addressing poverty‐related deprivations is essential to improving immunization equity and curbing recurrent diphtheria outbreaks.

Population genomics and antimicrobial resistance in Corynebacterium diphtheriae [PDF]

, 2020
Background: Corynebacterium diphtheriae, the agent of diphtheria, is a genetically diverse bacterial species. Although antimicrobial resistance has emerged against several drugs including first-line penicillin, the genomic determinants and population ...

Potential pathogenic role of aggregative- adhering Corynebacterium diphtheriae of different clonal groups in endocarditis

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2008
Invasive diseases caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae have been described increasingly. Several reports indicate the destructive feature of endocarditis attributable to nontoxigenic strains.

Changes in MLST profiles and biotypes of Corynebacterium diphtheriae isolates from the diphtheria outbreak period to the period of invasive infections caused by nontoxigenic strains in Poland (1950–2016)

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2018
Background Corynebacterium diphtheriae is a re-emerging pathogen in Europe causing invasive infections in vaccinated persons and classical diphtheria in unvaccinated persons. In the presented study we analysed genetic changes in C.
