Epidemiologic and clinical characteristics of four cases of toxin-producing cutaneous diphtheria--Minnesota, Washington, and New Mexico, 2015-2018 Characteristic Patient 1 State of residence Minnesota Age (yrs) 35 Sex F Country of travel Somalia DT-containing vaccination status unvaccinated Interval from onset of skin 18 days lesion to initial treatment Wound culture findings Staphylococcus aureus,

A clinico-pathological review of 34 cases of inflammatory breast disease showing an association between
corynebacteria infection and granulomatous mastitis.
Corynebacteria species were isolated from 5.9% febrile neutropenic children with neoplastic disease.
A clinicopathological review of 34 cases of inflammatory breast disease showing an association between
corynebacteria infection and granulomatous mastitis.
The
Corynebacteria are a group of aerobic, Gram-positive, catalase-positive, nonsporulating, generally nonmotile rods [1].
Corynebacteria are a normal component of the microbiota of human skin and mucous membranes.
Isolates of streptococci, coliforms and non-coliforms, Trueperella (
Corynebacteria), yeast etc., were presumptively identified as per National Mastitis Council (1990) and then maintained at -70oC in trypticase soya broth with 20% glycerol in cryogenic vials until speciated.
All
Corynebacteria were resistant to Co-trimoxazole.
Samples from swabs were plated on meat-peptone agar, MRS AGAR (DE MAN, ROGOSA, SHARPE)--special medium for lactic acid bacteria, nutritive medium of milk hydrolyzate, HMM for bifidobacteria, Buchin's medium for
corynebacteria culturing, medium containing sodium azide--for enterococci, Baird-Parker's medium--for staphylococci, wort agar, Sabouraud medium--for fungi, Endo agar, Bismuth sulfite agar--for enterobacteria.
Another 22 chapters consider such topics as the physiology and diversity of ammonia-oxidizing archaea, DNA replication and genomic architecture in very large bacteria, microbial population and community dynamics on plant roots and their feedback on plant communities, the origin and diversification of eukaryotes, and postgenomic approaches to using
corynebacteria as biocatalysts.
