Corynebacterium Striatum, an Emerging Nosocomial Pathogen: Case Reports

Infectious Disorders - Drug Targets, 2021
Background:: Corynebacterium striatum is an emerging nosocomial pathogen, capable of causing a variety of infections in immunocompromised and hospitalized patients. Case Presentation: We describe three cases of infection by C. striatum that were initially considered as contamination.

Corynebacterium striatum—A classic pathogen eluding diagnosis

European Journal of Internal Medicine, 2009
We report one case of infective endocarditis and two cases of arthritis due to Corynebacterium striatum. After reviewing all previously reported cases, we illustrate the clinical features typical of infection, including nosocomial risk factors and prominent embolic phenomena in the cases of endocarditis.

Corynebacterium striatum: A Diphtheroid with Pathogenic Potential

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1993
Although nondiphtherial corynebacteria are ubiquitous in nature and commonly colonize the skin and mucous membranes of humans, they rarely account for clinical infection. Corynebacterium striatum has rarely been reported to be a pathogen, causing pleuropulmonary infections and bacteremia in only immunocompromised or anatomically altered patients.

Breast abscess due to Corynebacterium striatum

British Journal of Dermatology, 1997
Corynebacterium striatum, a normal constituent of the skin flora, is rarely pathogenic. Previous reports of infection are few, and are mainly confined to immunosuppressed patients or those with indwelling prosthetic devices. We report a case in which the organism caused a recurrent breast abscess in a woman with normal immune function.

Corynebacterium Striatum Septic Arthritis and Bacteremia

Infectious Diseases in Clinical Practice, 2009
Abstract Corynebacterium striatum is part of the normal human flora, but it has recently gained recognition as a pathogen. It can cause serious infection in immunocompromised patients, although bone and joint infections due to C. striatum are uncommon. We present a patient with cirrhosis who developed C.

Corynebacterium striatum

Infectious Diseases in Clinical Practice
Abstract Corynebacterium striatum (C. striatum) is a rapidly emerging multidrug-resistant organism commonly found as a skin and respiratory tract commensal. The first case of C. striatum infection was published in 1980 in a patient with chronic lymphocytic leukemia who had a pleuropulmonary infection.

Corynebacterium striatum: an underappreciated community and nosocomial pathogen

Journal of Infection, 2005
Corynebacterium striatum (CS) is an underappreciated human pathogen that has been associated with serious infections in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised hosts. CS infections tend to be more frequent in males and major infection sites have included blood stream, lung, and central nervous system.

Virulence potential of Corynebacterium striatum towards Caenorhabditis elegans

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 2019
Corynebacterium striatum strains have been increasingly reported as etiological agents of nosocomial infections and outbreaks in industrialized and developing countries. However, there are few studies focused on the virulence potential of C. striatum.

Corynebacterium striatum peritoneal dialysis catheter exit site infection

Clinical Nephrology, 2003
Regarded as normal flora of the human skin and mucus membranes, non-diphtheria corynebacteria are frequently dismissed as contaminants or harmless colonizers. Recently, the pathogenic potential of C. striatum has been realized in immunocompromised patients with indwelling medical devices and previous antibiotic exposure.We report here the diagnosis ...

Characterization of antibiotic-resistant Corynebacterium striatum strains

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 1992
Antibiotic-resistant Corynebacterium strains were isolated from 14 Harborview and one Veterans Administration Hospital patients in Seattle during the period 1987-90. These clindamycin-erythromycin resistant strains were shown to hybridize with the ermCd gene, which was cloned from a Corynebacterium diphtheriae plasmid and encodes for a rRNA methylase ...
