Corynebacterium silvaticum in a game-handling butcher: A new zoonotic pathogen of human infections [PDF]

IDCases
The recently described Corynebacterium (C.) silvaticum is a diphtheria toxin (tox-) gene bearing species so far mainly found in wild boar and deers. Due to its close relationship to C. ulcerans a zoonotic potential has been proposed.

Diphtheria [PDF]

Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2019
Diphtheria is a potentially fatal infection mostly caused by toxigenic Corynebacterium diphtheriae strains and occasionally by toxigenic C. ulcerans and C. pseudotuberculosis strains. Diphtheria is generally an acute respiratory infection, characterized by the formation of a pseudomembrane in the throat, but cutaneous infections are possible.

Determination of Diphtheria Toxin in Bacterial Cultures by Enzyme Immunoassay

Diagnostics, 2022
Since diphtheria toxin (DT) is the main virulence factor of Corynebacterium diphtheriae and C. ulcerans, the detection of DT in corynebacterial cultures is of utmost importance in the laboratory diagnosis of diphtheria.
