Corynebacterium striatum Meningitis: Case Report and Review of an Increasingly Important Corynebacterium Species [PDF]
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1996 For a long time, corynebacteria were considered simple cutaneous contaminants with little potential pathogenicity. Corynebacterium striatum is a known saprophytic cutaneous bacterium; however, in the last decade, this organism has been increasingly recognized as a pathogen. It has been mostly implicated in respiratory tract and blood infections. To our

Diabetic Medicine, Volume 43, Issue 4, April 2026.The use of mNGS with the MinION tool clearly provides a significant advantage compared to routine culture by identifying a higher diversity of pathogens in diabetic foot osteomyelitis. It also highlights the value of this method in clinical decision making, despite the technical challenges inherent in metagenomic sequencing.
