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

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.

Diphtheria toxin (Corynebacterium diphtheriae)

1997
Abstract Diphtheria toxin is the primary virulence factor of toxigenic C. diphtheriae the etiologic agent of clinical diphtheria (Pappenheimer 1977). The structural gene for diphtheria toxin, tox, is carried by a closely related family of corynebacteriophages of which the β-phage has been the best studied (Buck et al.

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 ...

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 ...

Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Corynebacterium ulcerans and Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis—General Aspects

2013
Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Corynebacterium ulcerans and Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis are potentially diphtheria toxin -producing microorganisms related to different infectious processes involving both human and animal hosts. This chapter aims to concise the current aspects concerning to the pathogenesis, epidemiology of diseases caused by those
