A Case of Corynebacterium diphtheriae Native Mitral and Tricuspid Valve Infective Endocarditis Complicated by Shower Emboli

Case Reports in Cardiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Infective endocarditis is a rare phenomenon that may have devastating consequences. While uncommon, the spectrum of causative organisms can include Corynebacterium species. Corynebacterium diphtheriae endocarditis bears a high potential for systemic complications and overall mortality. We present a case of mitral and tricuspid native valve endocarditis

Concordance of molecular microbiology and conventional culture techniques for infected diabetic foot ulcer management

Diabetic Medicine, Volume 42, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract Aim The management of infected diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) requires balancing the need for timely interventions against the desire for targeted antibiotic therapy, which relies on laboratory results. This study aimed to evaluate concordance between molecular and conventional culture and sensitivity (C&S) methods in identifying bacteria from ...

Surveillance of diphtheria in the Netherlands between 2000–2021: cutaneous diphtheria supersedes the respiratory form

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2023
Background Diphtheria is a severe respiratory or cutaneous infectious disease, caused by exotoxin producing Corynebacterium diphtheriae, C. ulcerans and C. pseudotuberculosis. Diphtheria is once again prevalent due to breakdown of immunisation programmes,

The Role of Foxes in Transmitting Zoonotic Bacteria to Humans: A Scoping Review

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 72, Issue 6, Page 485-500, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Zoonotic diseases inflict substantial burdens on human and animal populations worldwide, and many of these infections are bacterial. An Australian study investigating environmental risk factors for Buruli ulcer in humans detected the causative agent, Mycobacterium ulcerans , in the faeces of wild foxes, a novel finding that suggests foxes may ...

Adherence and invasive properties of Corynebacterium diphtheriae strains correlates with the predicted membrane-associated and secreted proteome [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Non-toxigenic Corynebacterium diphtheriae strains are emerging as a major cause of severe pharyngitis and tonsillitis as well as invasive diseases such as endocarditis, septic arthritis, splenic abscesses and osteomyelitis. C.

Cutaneous diphtheria: three case-reports to discuss determinants of re-emergence in resource-rich settings

Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2021
Diphtheria is a re-emerging disease in resource-rich settings. We here report three cases of cutaneous diphtheria diagnosed and managed in our infectious disease department and discuss the determinants of its re-emergence.

Phage‐mediated horizontal transfer of Salmonella enterica virulence genes with regulatory feedback from the host

iMeta, Volume 4, Issue 4, August 2025.
In this study, we found evidence of phage‐mediated horizontal transfer of virulence genes in Salmonella enterica in global habitats from a molecular evolutionary perspective. Notably, csrA, a global regulator in Salmonella enterica, curbed horizontal gene transfer by inhibiting the cyclization and release of prophage.

Genomic Analysis of Novel Bacterial Species Corynebacterium ramonii ST344 Clone Strains Isolated from Human Skin Ulcer and Rescued Cats in Japan

Zoonotic Diseases
Some Corynebacterium strains produce toxins that are similar to those produced by Corynebacterium diphtheriae, leading to human infections that are often transmitted through zoonotic diseases.

Molecular characterization and phylogenetic analysis of the first Corynebacterium rouxii strains isolated in Brazil: a recent member of Corynebacterium diphtheriae complex

BMC Genomic Data, 2023
Background Corynebacterium diphtheriae complex was formed by the species C. diphtheriae, Corynebacterium ulcerans and Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis in the recent past. In addition to C. diphtheriae, C. ulcerans and C.
