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

Proteome Analysis of Corynebacterium diphtheriae-Macrophage Interaction. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Contact of Corynebacterium diphtheriae with macrophages induces adaptations on both bacterial and cellular sides. The study presented here was aiming to shed light on the simultaneous intracellular adaptation of the bacteria and changes in the proteome of the phagocytes in response to the internalization of C. diphtheriae.

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
