A global Corynebacterium diphtheriae genomic framework sheds light on current diphtheria reemergence
bioRxiv, 2023 Background Diphtheria, caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae, reemerges in Europe since 2022. Genomic sequencing can inform on transmission routes and genotypes of concern, but currently, no standard approach exists to detect clinically important genomic

Interactions between the Re-Emerging Pathogen Corynebacterium diphtheriae and Host Cells
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022 Corynebacterium diphtheriae, the etiological agent of diphtheria, is a re-emerging pathogen, responsible for several thousand deaths per year. In addition to diphtheria, systemic infections, often by non-toxigenic strains, are increasingly observed. This
