Novel Corynebacterium diphtheriae in Domestic Cats [PDF]
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 ...

Re-emergence of Corynebacterium diphtheriae [PDF]
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 ...

Late-onset prosthetic valve endocarditis caused by nontoxigenic Corynebacterium diphtheriae [PDF]
In developed countries, Corynebacterium diphtheriae infection is rare due to efficient immunization programs. However, cases of nontoxigenic strains of C. diphtheriae infections, including endocarditis, have been reported recently. Although the incidence

Characterization of Heme Uptake Proteins; HtaB, ChtB, and ChtA from Corynebacterium Diphtheriae Approaches to the Reaction of Dechloromonas Aromatica Chlorite Dismutase with Nitrite [PDF]
Heme is a source of iron for many pathogenic bacteria. Corynebacterium diphtheriae, the first protein in the system is HtaA, ChtA, and/or ChtC; heme is transferred to HtaB or ChtB. Heme is then mobilized into the cytosol by the ABC transporter where iron
