Fatal respiratory diphtheria caused by β-lactam-resistant Corynebacterium diphtheriae.

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2020
BACKGROUND Diphtheria is a potentially fatal respiratory disease caused by toxigenic Corynebacterium diphtheriae. Although resistance to erythromycin has been recognised, β-lactam resistance in toxigenic diphtheria has not been described. Here, we report

Corynebacterium diphtheriae Septicemia

American Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1981
This report describes the case of a patient with chronic lymphocytic leukemia in whom septicemia caused by a nontoxigenic strain of Corynebacterium diphtheriae developed. Numerous abscesses were present in sections of liver and spleen taken at autopsy.

Corynebacterium diphtheriae endocarditis

The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 1976
Two patients with Corynebacterium diphtheriae endocarditis have been observed in the past ten years. Both cases occurred sporadically. In one case toxigenic C. diphtheriae caused endocarditis in an immunized child with congenital heart disease. The second patient developed rapidly progressive valve destruction caused by a nontoxigenic strain of C ...

Burns and Corynebacterium diphtheriae

Burns, 1982
Abstract The wounds of 50 burn cases were studied for the possibility of infection by Corynebacterium diphtheriae . In contrast to the study of Ayyagari et al. (1979), the present study did not reveal any case of diphtherial infection in burn wounds.

CORYNEBACTERIUM: DIPHTHERIA

1962
Publisher Summary The growth of C. diphtheria occurs on the ordinary media, but it is more profuse on enriched media. One of the most satisfactory media in use is Loeffler's serum, which is prepared by adding 1 part of 1% glucose broth to 3 parts of sterile ox-serum and inspissating.

Neuraminidase ofCorynebacterium diphtheriae

Journal of Bacteriology, 1967
Neuraminidase activity has been found in a variety of strains ofCorynebacterium diphtheriae, both toxinogenic and nontoxinogenic. The enzyme has been shown to be intracellular, possibly associated with the cytoplasmic membrane. Toxinogenic strains of the diphtheria bacillus, grown under conditions unsuitable for maximal toxin production, produce ...

Bacteriophage Typing of Corynebacterium diphtheriae

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1977
Bacteriophage types of over 3,000 strains of Corynebacterium diphtheriae isolated in Canada have been determined. The typing scheme used involved the use of nine phages. Results indicated that phage types correlate with biotypes to a large degree. Corynecin types were also determined for a limited number of cultures, and results indicated that the ...

Growth of the Surface of Corynebacterium diphtheriae

Microbiology and Immunology, 1983
AbstractSurface structure and growth of the surface of Corynebacterium diphtheriae mitis strain were investigated by scanning electron microscopy and the immunofluorescence technique. The surface of the cell revealed by the scanning electron microscope showed a few elevated circular zones which encompassed the cell.

Observations on the Staining of Corynebacterium Diphtheriae

Stain Technology, 1949
Albert's method, of staining diphtheria cultures consists of staining a fixed smear for one minute (some laboratories stain for five minutes) with a solution containing toluidine blue and malachite (or methyl) green, washing with water, and applying Albert's iodine for one minute.
