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.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Plasma calprotectin to assess susceptibility to bloodstream infections during paediatric acute lymphoblastic leukaemia induction treatment

British Journal of Haematology, Volume 208, Issue 4, Page 1339-1346, April 2026.
Summary Chemotherapy‐induced neutropenia, monitored by peripheral blood absolute neutrophil count (ANC), increases the risk of bloodstream infections (BSIs). However, ANC may not reflect the total neutrophil population, as it omits neutrophils at extravascular sites.
