Corynebacterium striatum—Got Worse by a Pandemic? [PDF]

Pathogens, 2022
The role of Corynebacterium striatum has been demonstrated in different nosocomial infections. An increasing number of publications have demonstrated its virulence in the respiratory tract, especially in the immunosuppressed patient population. The number of these patients has increased significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Contribution of the Mobilome to the Configuration of the Resistome of Corynebacterium striatum [PDF]

International Journal of Molecular Sciences
Corynebacterium striatum, present in the microbiota of human skin and nasal mucosa, has recently emerged as a causative agent of hospital-acquired infections, notable for its resistance to multiple antimicrobials. Its mobilome comprises several mobile genetic elements, such as plasmids, transposons, insertion sequences and integrons, which contribute ...

Corynebacterium Striatum Native Valve Endocarditis [PDF]

Pakistan Journal of Medical Sciences
Corynebacterium species are traditionally regarded as harmless commensals, but nondiphtherial strains, such as C. striatum, are now recognised to cause clinically invasive infections, including infective endocarditis. We describe a case of a 25 years old male with a bicuspid aortic valve who presented with persistent fever and was found to have C ...
