Corynebacterium ulcerans pneumonia treated with venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: a case report [PDF]
International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2023 We report the first case of airway obstruction due to toxin-producing Corynebacterium ulcerans, successfully managed with venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO). A woman aged 73 years who was living with companion animals was intubated

Severe Pneumonia Caused by Toxigenic Corynebacterium ulcerans Infection, Japan [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2018 Corynebacterium ulcerans infection was recently recognized as a zoonosis. We present 2 cases of severe pneumonia complicated by diffuse pseudomembrane formation on the bronchus caused by C. ulcerans–producing diphtheria toxin.

Genome sequence of a pathogenic Corynebacterium ulcerans strain isolated from a wild boar with necrotizing lymphadenitis [PDF]
BMC Research Notes, 2019 Objectives Corynebacterium ulcerans can colonize a wide variety of animals and also humans are infected, typically by zoonotic transmission. Symptoms range from skin ulcers or systemic infections to diphtheria-like illness.

Mutation and Diversity of Diphtheria Toxin in Corynebacterium ulcerans [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2019 Corynebacterium ulcerans infection is emerging in humans. We conducted phylogenetic analyses of C. ulcerans and C. diptheriae, which revealed diverse diphtheria toxin in C. ulcerans.

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.
