Evidence of multiple taxa within commercially available reference strains of Corynebacterium xerosis

R plasmids in Corynebacterium xerosis strains.

Plasmids coding for resistance to chloramphenicol, erythromycin, kanamycin, streptomycin, and tetracycline have been found in strains of Corynebacterium xerosis isolated from patients with otitis media.

Diversity within reference strains of Corynebacterium matruchotii includes Corynebacterium durum and a novel organism.

Corynebacterium matruchotii has been the subject of numerous dental pathogenesis studies. The purpose of the present study was to resolve concerns about diversity within the reference strains of C. matruchotii through analysis of seven strains procured from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). Analysis of whole-cell fatty acid profiles with the library generation software of Microbial I...

Most Corynebacterium xerosis strains identified in the routine clinical laboratory correspond to Corynebacterium amycolatum.

A comprehensive study was performed on 25 bacterial clinical isolates originally identified as Corynebacterium xerosis. Three reference strains of C. xerosis were also included in the study. On the basis of a variety of phenotypic characteristics tested, all strains could be divided into two separate clusters: reference strains ATCC 373 (the type strain of C. xerosis) and ATCC 7711 showed yello...

Isolation of Corynebacterium xerosis from animal clinical specimens.

This article describes the first identification of Corynebacterium xerosis from animal clinical specimens, which was confirmed by microbiological and molecular genetic (16S rRNA gene sequencing) methods.
