Genomic Epidemiology and Strain Taxonomy of Corynebacterium diphtheriae

bioRxiv, 2021
Corynebacterium diphtheriae is highly transmissible and can cause large diphtheria outbreaks where vaccination coverage is insufficient. Sporadic cases or small clusters are observed in high-vaccination settings.

Induction and Resuscitation of Viable but Nonculturable Corynebacterium diphtheriae

Microorganisms, 2021
Many pathogenic bacteria, including Escherichia coli and Vibrio cholerae, can become viable but nonculturable (VBNC) following exposure to specific stress conditions.

Cutaneous infection by non-diphtheria-toxin producing and penicillin-resistant Corynebacterium diphtheriae strain in a patient with diabetes mellitus

Access Microbiology, 2021
Diphtheria is a potentially fatal infection, mostly caused by diphtheria toxin (DT)-producing Corynebacterium diphtheriae strains. During the last decades, the isolation of DT-producing C. diphtheriae strains has been decreasing worldwide.

A Rare Case Report of Non-toxigenic Corynebacterium diphtheriae Bloodstream Infection in an Uncontrolled Diabetic With Peripheral Vascular Disease

Cureus, 2021
Corynebacterium diphtheriae usually causes respiratory diphtheria, which is considered as a disease of toxemia but never bacteremia. Over the last few decades, cutaneous diphtheria has been increasingly reported owing to the emergence of the non ...

Multilocus sequence types of invasive Corynebacterium diphtheriae isolated in the Rio de Janeiro urban area, Brazil [PDF]

, 2012
Invasive infections caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae in vaccinated and non-vaccinated individuals have been reported increasingly. In this study we used multilocus sequence typing (MLST) to study genetic relationships between six invasive strains of

Population genomics and antimicrobial resistance in Corynebacterium diphtheriae

Genome Medicine, 2020
Corynebacterium diphtheriae, the agent of diphtheria, is a genetically diverse bacterial species. Although antimicrobial resistance has emerged against several drugs including first-line penicillin, the genomic determinants and population dynamics of ...

The Corynebacterium diphtheriae HbpA Hemoglobin-Binding Protein Contains a Domain That Is Critical for Hemoprotein Binding, Cellular Localization, and Function

Journal of Bacteriology, 2021
Hemoproteins, such as Hb, are an abundant source of iron in humans and are proposed to be required by numerous pathogens to cause disease. In this report, we expand on our previous studies in further defining the role of HbpA in hemin iron acquisition in

Non-toxigenic penicillin-resistant cutaneous C. diphtheriae infection: A case report and review of the literature

Journal of Infection and Public Health, 2015
Summary: Here, we report a case of non-toxigenic Corynebacterium diphtheriae in a previously healthy 14-year-old girl that was acquired in Ethiopia and presented locally. This is the first clinical case of penicillin-resistant C.

A combined approach for comparative exoproteome analysis of Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis [PDF]

, 2011
Background: Bacterial exported proteins represent key components of the host-pathogen interplay. Hence, we sought to implement a combined approach for characterizing the entire exoproteome of the pathogenic bacterium Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis,
