Corynebacterium ulcerans cutaneous diphtheria [PDF]

The Lancet Infectious Diseases, 2015
We describe the case of a patient with cutaneous diphtheria caused by toxigenic Corynebacterium ulcerans who developed a right hand flexor sheath infection and symptoms of sepsis such as fever, tachycardia, and elevated C-reactive protein, after contact with domestic cats and dogs, and a fox.

Draft Genome Sequences of Six Corynebacterium ulcerans Strains Isolated from Humans and Animals in Austria, 2013 to 2019. [PDF]

Microbiol Resour Announc, 2020
Corynebacterium ulcerans is an emerging pathogen responsible for severe diseases in humans and animals. Here, we present the draft genome of six C. ulcerans strains isolated in Austria. These draft genomes have 2,446,822 to 2,551,141 bp encoding 57 to 60

Comparative analysis of two complete Corynebacterium ulcerans genomes and detection of candidate virulence factors [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2011
Background Corynebacterium ulcerans has been detected as a commensal in domestic and wild animals that may serve as reservoirs for zoonotic infections. During the last decade, the frequency and severity of human infections associated with C.

Corynebacterium ulcerans Diphtheria in Japan

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2003
To the Editor: Corynebacterium ulcerans causes a zoonotic infection similar to diphtheria, which is caused by C. diphtheriae. Studies indicate that signs and symptoms of a diphtheria-like illness caused by C. ulcerans are milder than those caused by C. diphtheriae. However, some strains of C.

Genome Sequence of Corynebacterium ulcerans Strain FRC11. [PDF]

Genome Announc, 2015
ABSTRACTHere, we present the genome sequence ofCorynebacterium ulceransstrain FRC11. The genome includes one circular chromosome of 2,442,826 bp (53.35% G+C content), and 2,210 genes were predicted, 2,146 of which are putative protein-coding genes, with 12 rRNAs and 51 tRNAs; 1 pseudogene was also identified.

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.

Genome Sequence of Corynebacterium ulcerans Strain 210932. [PDF]

Genome Announc, 2014
ABSTRACTIn this work, we present the complete genome sequence ofCorynebacterium ulceransstrain 210932, isolated from a human. The species is an emergent pathogen that infects a variety of wild and domesticated animals and humans. It is associated with a growing number of cases of a diphtheria-like disease around the world.

Toxigenic Corynebacterium ulcerans in Woman and Cat

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2011
To the Editor: Toxigenic Corynebacterium ulcerans may cause a zoonotic infection similar to diphtheria caused by C. diphtheriae. Previously, dairy cattle were considered to be the main reservoir for C. ulcerans (1), but recent publications suggest pet dogs and pet cats as carriers (cats often show bilateral nasal discharge) (2).

Corynebacterium ulcerans – ein Emerging Pathogen? [PDF]

, 2018
Im Epidemiologischen Bulletin 8/2018 werden die Daten des Konsiliarlabors für Diphtherie aus den Jahren 2011-2016 vorgestellt. Während in der Prävakzine-Ära und heute noch in Ländern mit inadäquaten Impfquoten hauptsächlich C. diphtheriae für Diphtherie-Erkrankungen verantwortlich war bzw. ist, wird in den letzten Jahren v.a.
