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 ...

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,

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

Adhesion properties of toxigenic corynebacteria

AIMS Microbiology, 2018
Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis and Corynebacterium ulcerans share one distinctive feature: they are all putative carriers of the diphtheria toxin (DT), encoded by a β-corynephage integrated into the genome.
