Toxigenic strains of
Corynebacterium diphtheriae are transmitted person-to-person and cause respiratory and cutaneous diphtheria; infections of other mucous membranes, such as the eye, have been reported (1).
The DOH said diphtheria is an infection caused by the bacterium
Corynebacterium diphtheriae. "It infects the throat and upper airways, and produces a toxin affecting other organs."
ATLANTA -- Seven cases of imported
Corynebacterium diphtheriae in Minnesota highlight the importance of maintaining suspicion that cutaneous lesions in individuals with recent travel to endemic countries might be associated with C.
Prior to Fina Biosolutions' new method of production, the CRM197protein was manufactured by
Corynebacterium diphtheriae at low yields or was available commercially at high cost.
Corynebacterium diphtheriae threats in cancer patients.
Diphtheria is a life-threatening serious disease that is caused by
Corynebacterium diphtheriae. It may be observed as upper respiratory system infection involving tonsils, larynx, pharynx and/or viscous membranes in nose.
Respiratory diphtheria, caused by toxigenic strains of the gram-positive bacillus
Corynebacterium diphtheriae, is an upper respiratory tract disease characterized by a sore throat; mild fever; and gray-white pseudomembrane on the tonsils, larynx, or pharynx.
(groups C and G) Neisseria gonorrhoeae Fusobacterium necrophorum Arcanobacterium haemolyticum
Corynebacterium diphtheriae Francisella tularemia Mycoplasma pneumoniae Epstein-Barr virus Cytomegalovirus Human Immunodeficiency Virus Herpes Simplex virus (types 1 and 2)
Diphtheria is caused by the bacterium
Corynebacterium diphtheriae, which produces a toxin that can harm or destroy human body tissues and organs.
The Corynebacteria are divided into two groups:
Corynebacterium diphtheriae and nondiphtherial Corynebacteria, collectively referred to as diphtheroids.
