Cutaneous Corynebacterium Infection Presenting with Disseminated Skin Nodules and Ulceration
In the context of the European migrant crisis, more and more cases of cutaneous diphtheria are seen. A typical presentation includes painful cutaneous ulcerations with grayish-whitish pseudomembranes.

Severe Pneumonia Caused by Corynebacterium striatum in Adults, Seoul, South Korea, 2014–2019
We investigated the proportion and characteristics of severe Corynebacterium striatum pneumonia in South Korea during 2014–2019. As part of an ongoing observational study of severe pneumonia among adult patients, we identified 27 severe C.

Diphtheroids-Important Nosocomial Pathogens [PDF]
Introduction: Diphtheroids are defined as aerobic, nonsporulating, pleomorphic Gram-positive bacilli which are more uniformly stained than Corynebacterium diphtheriae, lack the metachromatic granules and are arranged in a palisade manner.

Corynebacterium striatum Meningitis: Case Report and Review of an Increasingly Important Corynebacterium Species [PDF]
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

Respiratory infection by Corynebacterium striatum: epidemiological and clinical determinants
The increasing prevalence of advanced chronic respiratory disease, with frequent exposure to broad-spectrum antibiotics for repeated and prolonged hospitalizations, favours the emergence of nosocomial respiratory infection by Gram-positive bacteria, such as outbreaks of Corynebacterium striatum.

A Spontaneous Joint Infection with Corynebacterium striatum [PDF]
ABSTRACT Corynebacterium striatum is a ubiquitous saprophyte with the potential to cause bacteremia in immunocompromised patients. Until now, spontaneous infection of a natural joint has not been reported. When phenotyping failed, gene sequencing was used to identify the species.

Phylogenetic Profiling of the Diabetic Foot Ulcer Microbiome of an Afro‐Caribbean Population
Illumina amplicon sequencing revealed diverse bacterial and fungal communities in chronic diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) and adjacent normal skin from Afro‐Caribbean patients. Corynebacterium striatum dominated both sites. DFUs had higher relative abundance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and the antifungal‐resistant Candida duobushaemulonii, with significantly
