Contribution of the Mobilome to the Configuration of the Resistome of Corynebacterium striatum. [PDF]
Int J Mol SciCorynebacterium 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 ...

Identification and Evolutionary Relationship of Corynebacterium striatum Clinical Isolates
Pathogens, 2022 Corynebacterium striatum has developed into a new community-acquired and hospital-acquired multi-drug resistance (MDR) bacterium, and is a potential target pathogen for infection control and antibacterial management projects. In this study, non-duplicate samples of inpatients were collected from a local central hospital.
