parakroppenstedtii, and utilizing a retrospective study in conjunction with a comprehensive literature review, we suggested an efficacious, targeted antibiotic treatment strategy for GLM. Subsequently, we identified the pathogenic factor as a new type of glycolipid (named corynekropbactins) secreted by...
Corynebacterium jeikeium has been associated with pneumonia, usually after antibiotic treatment and mechanical ventilation or peritoneal dialysis [45–47]. Corynebacterium accolens has not been associated with respiratory infections. However, in one study C. accolens was reported as the third most common...
shunts [1,6,7]. It is unknown whether certain species ofCorynebacteriumare more frequently associated with endocarditis, are associated with different predisposing conditions or risk factors, or if they have differences in outcomes – such as requiring valve replacement surgery or greater mortality. To...
Treatment of infections with C. jeikieim is complicated by the multiantibiotic-resistant phenotype displayed by the vast majority of isolates. This species is inherently resistant to penicillins, aminoglycosides, and cephalosporins; additionally, many isolates are resistant to tetracycline, erythromyc...
INTRODUCTION Corynebacterium species are members of the normal skin flora and generally found in the environment(1).Except for Corynebacterium diphteriae,Corynebacterium species are usually considered to be contaminants when recovered in the clinical laboratory(2).However,during the last few years ...
See the diphtheria module for public health and treatment recommendations. Other occasional human pathogens: often afflicting hospitalized/immunocompromised patients; organisms typically with significant antibiotic-resistance profiles. C. amycolatum: may be under-recognized as frequently misidentified as C. ...

Despite over a dozen studies, there is no guidance on surgical interventions, steroid use, or dosing or duration of antibiotic treatment. Initially seen in predominantly Maori and Pacific Islander multiparous, postlactating women, C. kroppenstedtii breast infection has since been reported throughout ...
kroppenstedtii and the patient made a full recovery after a 6-week course of antibiotic treatment. We briefly review the literature pertaining to antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of C. kroppenstedtii and available treatment recommendations. Our report calls for further studies to assess the role ...
The pathogen has been accounted with high mortality in wild and cultured species worldwide [40, 75, 76]. S. agalactiae developed phenotypic and genotypic antibiotic resistance patterns in China, being isolated from cows with mastitis [77]. Bolukaoto et al. [71] isolated an antibiotic resistant...
