From January 1986 through February 1993, there were 16 episodes of respiratory infection due to Corynebacterium pseudodiphtheriticum in 13 patients. The ages of patients ranged from 24 to 77 years; ...

Corynebacterium subspecies rarely cause spontaneous discitis. This case is interesting because of the unusual causal organism and the occurrence of discitis in the setting of chronic renal failure.

Diphtheria is a serious and contagious infection caused when the bacteria Corynebacterium diphtheriae release toxins. Symptoms often appear in the skin or respiratory system. If it enters the ...

Further experiments established that the Corynebacterium could cause immune cells from the conjunctiva to release IL-17.Tears from mice with Corynebacterium living in their conjunctivae were more ...

Staphylococcus aureus Shifts toward Commensalism in Response to Corynebacterium Species. Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016; 7 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2016.01230 ...

Erythrasma is caused by the Corynebacterium minutissimum bacteria. The bacteria normally live on the skin and can grow in warm, moist areas. That’s why it’s commonly found in folds of the skin.

Corynebacterium glutamicum is an important industrial metabolite producer that is difficult to genetically engineer. Although the Streptococcus pyogenes (Sp) CRISPR-Cas9 system has been adapted ...

The team reports this week in the journal Science Translational Medicine that sinusitis may be linked to the loss of normal microbial diversity within the sinuses following an infection and the ...

Corynebacterium glutamicum, first identified in 1956 for its exceptional glutamic acid production, has since become a cornerstone microorganism in industrial biotechnology, particularly for ...
