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
