Properties of Corynephage Attachment Site and Molecular Epidemiology of Corynebacterium ulcerans Isolated from Humans and Animals in Japan

2008-03-28

Abstract excerpt

Sporadic reports of Corynebacterium ulcerans infection in humans and animals have become increasingly common throughout the world. Between 2001 and 2006, five human cases, in addition to isolation of the bacterium from the carcasses of Orcinus orca and Panthera leo, were reported in Japan. While an isolate from P. leo generated only phospholipase D (PLD), the other isolates produced both PLD and diphtheria-like to...
