Genomic epidemiology and strain taxonomy of <i>Corynebacterium diphtheriae</i>

2021-07-20

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Corynebacterium diphtheriae is highly transmissible and can cause large diphtheria outbreaks where vaccination coverage is insufficient. Sporadic cases or small clusters are observed in high-vaccination settings.
