Corynebacterium guaraldiae sp. nov.: a new species of Corynebacterium from human infections
Brazilian Journal of Microbiology, 2023 Non-diphtheria Corynebacterium species (NDC) belonging to the human skin and mucosa microbiota are frequently neglected as contaminants. However, reports of human infections by Corynebacterium spp. have increased considerably in recent years. In this study, a group of six NDC isolates of urine (n = 5) and sebaceous cyst (n = 1) from two South American ...
