Cell Structure of Corynebacterium diphtheriae [PDF]
SUMMARY: When examined by phase-contrast microscopy living diphtheria bacilli generally appear fairly transparent. They are sometimes unicellular but are frequently divided into compartments by readily visible cross-septa. In gravis and mitis strains the cross septa are usually few in number and the compartments long, but in intermedius strains there ...

Acinetobacter baumannii transposon insertion mutant strains ΔpilA and ΔtrxA display marked reductions of surface pili. The PilA (a major pilin protein) and TrxA (thioredoxin A) deficient bacteria also show attenuation in pathogenesis including the reduction of intestinal bacterial attachment, increased phagocytic uptake and decreased mortality from ...

Image_5_Distinct Genomic Features Characterize Two Clades of Corynebacterium diphtheriae: Proposal of Corynebacterium diphtheriae Subsp. diphtheriae Subsp. nov. and Corynebacterium diphtheriae Subsp. lausannense Subsp. nov..TIFF [PDF]
Corynebacterium diphtheriae is the etiological agent of diphtheria, a disease caused by the presence of the diphtheria toxin. However, an increasing number of records report non-toxigenic C. diphtheriae infections. Here, a C.
