Diphtheria in Mayotte, 2007–2015

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2017
Epidemiology of diphtheria in the southwestern Indian Ocean is poorly documented. We analyzed 14 cases of infection with toxigenic Corynebacterium diphtheriae reported during 2007–2015 in Mayotte, a French department located in this region. Local control

Proteome Analysis of Corynebacterium diphtheriae–Macrophage Interaction

PROTEOMICS, Volume 26, Issue 8, Page 9-28, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Contact of Corynebacterium diphtheriae with macrophages induces adaptations on both bacterial and cellular sides. The study presented here was aiming to shed light on the simultaneous intracellular adaptation of the bacteria and changes in the proteome of the phagocytes in response to the internalization of C. diphtheriae.

Corynebacterium diphtheriae [PDF]

Journal of Hygiene, 1984
Corynebacterium diphtheriae was first observed by Klebs in 1883 and was cultivated a year later by Loeffler, whose description in 1884 of the causative organism of diphtheria remains a standard. Diphtheria was a life-threatening disease throughout the world until the therapeutic use of antitoxin and the use, as a public health measure, of childhood ...

Whole-genome sequencing data of Corynebacterium diphtheriae isolated from diphtheria outbreaks in Indonesia

Data in Brief, 2022
Corynebacterium diphtheriae (C. diphtheriae) is the causative agent of diphtheria. The main virulence factor of C. diphtheriae is diphtheria toxin, which is encoded by the tox gene and regulated by the dtxR gene.

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 ...

Re-emergence of Corynebacterium diphtheriae [PDF]

Médecine et Maladies Infectieuses, 2019
Diphtheria is re-emerging in Europe. A total of 36 cases were reported in Europe in 2015 versus 53 cases between 2000 and 2009.We report two cases of Corynebacterium diphtheriae infection in a French hospital in 2016: a cutaneous infection with negative toxin testing in a French traveller, and a respiratory diphtheria carriage with positive toxin ...
