Genomic and phenotypic diversity among taxonomically ambiguous clinical Corynebacterium isolates [PDF]

BMC Microbiology
Background Corynebacterium is a widespread and abundant bacterial genus on human skin. Occasionally, corynebacteria are isolated from clinical specimens associated with infection. In this study, 56 bacterial isolates were examined.

An underestimated pathogen: Corynebacterium species [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology
Corynebacterium species are a diverse group of organisms historically considered to be non-pathogenic, outside of the C. diphtheriae complex. Over the last few decades, this belief has been disproven with many notable non-diphtheriae Corynebacterium ...

Corynebacterium endocarditis in a patient with a cardiac implantable electronic device

Iberoamerican Journal of Medicine, 2022
Cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) infections have been rising around the world. Many microorganisms can lead to this disease. Corynebacterium species are catalase-positive Gram-positive bacilli, also known as "diphtheroids" or "coryneform ...

Current Evidence for Corynebacterium on the Ocular Surface

Microorganisms, 2021
Corynebacterium species are commonly found in the conjunctiva of healthy adults and are recognized as non-pathogenic bacteria. In recent years, however, Corynebacterium species have been reported to be potentially pathogenic in various tissues.

Diphtheroids-Important Nosocomial Pathogens [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2016
Introduction: Diphtheroids are defined as aerobic, nonsporulating, pleomorphic Gram-positive bacilli which are more uniformly stained than Corynebacterium diphtheriae, lack the metachromatic granules and are arranged in a palisade manner.

Corynebacterium Prosthetic Joint Infection [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2012
ABSTRACTIdentification ofCorynebacteriumspecies may be challenging.Corynebacteriumspecies are occasional causes of prosthetic joint infection (PJI), but few data are available on the subject. Based on the literature,C. amycolatum,C. aurimucosum,C. jeikeium, andC. striatumare the most commonCorynebacteriumspecies that cause PJI.
