Genome-wide comparison of toxigenic and non-toxigenic <i>Corynebacterium diphtheriae</i> isolates identifies differences in the pan genomes between respiratory and cutaneous strains

2017-05-30

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Objectives</h4> Corynebacterium diphtheriae is the main etiological agent of diphtheria, a global disease causing life-threatening infections, particularly in infants and children. Vaccination with diphtheria toxoid protects against infection with potent toxin producing strains. However a growing number of apparently non-toxigenic but potentially invasive C. diphtheriae strains are identified in countries wi...
