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
