Genomic analysis of a nontoxigenic, invasive Corynebacterium diphtheriae strain from Brazil
We report the complete genome sequence and analysis of an invasive Corynebacterium diphtheriae strain that caused endocarditis in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It was selected for sequencing on the basis of the current relevance of nontoxigenic strains for public health. The genomic information was explored in the context of diversity, plasticity and genetic relatedness with other contemporary strains.

The genome sequence of the human pathogen Corynebacterium diphtheriae bv. mitis strain ISS 3319 was determined and closed in this study. The genome is estimated to have 2,404,936 bp encoding 2,257 proteins. This strain also possesses a plasmid of 1,960 bp.
متن کاملA Case of Necrotizing Epiglottitis Due to Nontoxigenic Corynebacterium diphtheriae.
Diphtheria is a rare cause of infection in highly vaccinated populations and may not be recognized by modern clinicians. Infections by nontoxigenic Corynebacterium diphtheriae are emerging. We report the first case of necrotizing epiglottitis secondary to nontoxigenic C diphtheriae. A fully vaccinated child developed fever, poor oral intake, and sore throat and was found to have necrotizing epi...
متن کاملNontoxigenic Highly Pathogenic Clone of Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Poland, 2004–2012
Twenty-five cases of nontoxigenic Corynebacterium diphtheriae infection were recorded in Poland during 2004-2012, of which 18 were invasive. Alcoholism, homelessness, hepatic cirrhosis, and dental caries were predisposing factors for infection. However, for 17% of cases, no concomitant diseases or predisposing factors were found.

A 54-year-old womanwas admitted to our hospital on February 7, 1 994, with persistent productive cough, sore throat, and bloody sputum. She had realized an exacerbation of cough and mucopurulent sputum about 2 months prior to admission and had had bloody sputum on January 3 1. The patient had been in her usual state of health, with productive cough and postnasal drip for a few years; she had th...
