Prepatellar Bursitis with Abscess due to Corynebacterium ulcerans [PDF]
Case Reports in Orthopedics, 2021 Corynebacteria are ubiquitous and reside as skin and mucosa commensals in animals. They are considered contaminants in clinical specimens, but significant clinical data points to their virulence and pathogenic potential over the last two decades ...

Case Report: Toxigenic Corynebacterium ulcerans Diphtheria-Like Infection in a Horse in the United Kingdom [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021 Corynebacterium ulcerans (C. ulcerans) may cause diphtheria in humans and can be carried by a wide range of animal species including dairy cows and, more recently, dogs and cats that have been increasingly involved in zoonotic trasmission.

Clinical Characteristics of Corynebacterium ulcerans Infection, Japan [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2023 Corynebacterium ulcerans is a closely related bacterium to the diphtheria bacterium C. diphtheriae, and some C. ulcerans strains produce toxins that are similar to diphtheria toxin. C.

Corynebacterium ulcerans in Ferrets [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014 To the Editor: Infection with Corynebacterium ulcerans occurs sporadically throughout the world, and in the United Kingdom it has emerged as the most common cause of diphtheria-like disease (1). C. ulcerans, along with C. diphtheriae and C. pseudotuberculosis, can be lysogenized by diphtheria toxin–encoding bacteriophages; this process enables the ...

The killing of macrophages byCorynebacterium ulcerans [PDF]
Virulence, 2016 Corynebacterium ulcerans is an emerging pathogen transmitted by a zoonotic pathway with a very broad host spectrum to humans. Despite rising numbers of infections and potentially fatal outcomes, data on the molecular basis of pathogenicity are scarce. In this study, the interaction of 2 C.
