Spatiotemporal persistence of multiple, diverse clades and toxins of Corynebacterium diphtheriae

Nature Communications, 2021
Cases of diphtheria have increased in recent years. Here, the authors analyse the genomes of 502 Corynebacterium diphtheriae isolates across 16 countries and territories over 122 years, describing an increase in antimicrobial resistance genes and ...

Novel Corynebacterium diphtheriae in Domestic Cats [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2010
Novel nontoxigenic Corynebacterium diphtheriae was isolated from a domestic cat with severe otitis. Contact investigation and carrier study of human and animal contacts yielded 3 additional, identical isolates from cats, although no evidence of zoonotic ...

Application of loop-mediated isothermal amplification combined with colorimetric and lateral flow dipstick visualization as the potential point-of-care testing for Corynebacterium diphtheriae

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2020
Background Diphtheria outbreaks occurred in endemic areas and imported and indigenous cases are reported in UE/EEA. Because of the high infectiveness and severity of the disease, early and accurate diagnosis of each suspected case is essential for the ...

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

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.

Transformation of Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Corynebacterium ulcerans, Corynebacterium glutamicum, and Escherichia coli with the C. diphtheriae plasmid pNG2. [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1987
The transfection and transformation of members of two species of pathogenic corynebacteria, Corynebacterium diphtheriae and Corynebacterium ulcerans, is described. Protoplasts were produced by treatment with lysozyme following growth in glycine, and a medium was defined on which a significant fraction of the osmotically sensitive cells were regenerated.
