Pigs as Source for Toxigenic Corynebacterium ulcerans

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009
To the Editor: Diphtheria and diphtheria-like illness are caused by Corynebacterium spp. that harbor the diphtheria toxin–encoding tox gene. Recently in many industrialized countries, cases of diphtheria-like infection caused by toxigenic C. ulcerans have outnumbered those caused by toxigenic C. diphtheriae (1,2). C.

Toxigenic Corynebacterium ulcerans in human and non-toxigenic Corynebacterium diphtheriae in cat [PDF]

New Microbes and New Infections, 2013
Corynebacterium diphtheriae and Corynebacterium ulcerans are rarely isolated from clinical samples in Belgium. A case of toxigenic C. ulcerans in a woman is described, which confirms that this pathogen is still present. During investigation of the patient's cats, only a non-toxigenic toxin-bearing C. diphtheriae strain was detected.

The exotoxins ofCorynebacterium ulcerans [PDF]

Journal of Hygiene, 1982
SummaryThe exotoxins produced by ten strains ofC. ulcerans(two human, six bovine and two equine) have been studied. On the criteria of toxin–antitoxin neutralisation and immunoprecipitation tests using highly specific diphtheria andC. ovisantitoxins with crude toxic filtrates, (NH4)2SO4concentrates, and partially purified chromatographic preparations ...

Expert opinion on the identification, risk assessment, and mitigation of microorganisms and parasites relevant to xenotransplantation products from pigs

Xenotransplantation, Volume 30, Issue 5, September/October 2023., 2023
Abstract Xenotransplantation has the potential to address shortages of organs available for clinical transplantation, but concerns exist regarding potential risks posed by porcine microorganisms and parasites (MP) to the health of human recipients. In this study, a risk‐based framework was developed, and expert opinion was elicited to evaluate porcine ...
