Corynebacterium Striatum, an Emerging Nosocomial Pathogen: Case Reports
Infectious Disorders - Drug Targets, 2021Background:: 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.

Pulmonary abscess due to Corynebacterium striatum.
Journal of the Tennessee Medical Association, 1996 Non-diphtheria corynebacteria are normal commensals of the skin and mucous membranes of humans. Increasingly, however, these saprophytic organisms are being recognized as pathogens. Patients infected with these bacteria typically have an underlying immunosuppressive process and/or an indwelling venous catheter.

Virulence potential of Corynebacterium striatum towards Caenorhabditis elegans
Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek, 2019Corynebacterium 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.

About a bloodstream Corynebacterium striatum isolate
Folia Microbiologica, 2013Corynebacterium striatum is often dismissed as a contaminant when cultivated from blood samples; indeed, it is a skin saprophyte that may therefore be introduced into the clinical specimen accidentally. Nevertheless, the organism can be responsible for true bacteraemias, and multidrug resistance spread among nosocomial strains is of increasing concern.

Corynebacterium striatum: A Diphtheroid with Pathogenic Potential
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1993Although 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.

Pleuropulmonary infection due to Corynebacterium striatum
British Journal of Diseases of the Chest, 1980Corynebacterium striatum, a saprophytic diphtheroid in man, caused a pleuropulmonary infection in a patient with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. This organism has not previously been described as a cause of human disease.

A Corynebacterium striatum endocarditis on a carrier of pacemaker
Annales de biologie clinique, 2012We report a new case of a Corynebacterium striatum endocarditis on a carrier of a pacemaker. Corynebacterium striatum was isolated from blood culture, the pulse generator and the pacing lead. A literature review of Corynebacterium striatum endocarditis on a carrier of pacemaker was conducted.

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.

Breast abscess due to Corynebacterium striatum
British Journal of Dermatology, 1997Corynebacterium 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, 2009Abstract 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.
