چکیده
Corynebacterium freneyi is a recently described alpha-glucosidase-positive species of the genus CORYNEBACTERIUM: To our knowledge, there is no description of human infection due to this species. We report on a case of bacteremia due to C. freneyi following vascular surgery.

Comprehensive Study of Corynebacterium freneyi Strains and Extended and Emended Description of Corynebacterium freneyi
In 2001, Corynebacterium freneyi was described as a new fermentative, -glucosidase-positive Corynebacterium species related to C. xerosis based on data from three strains. During a review of our extensive culture collection we encountered 18 additional C. freneyi strains and further characterized them in detail. Thirteen of the 18 strains were isolated from female genital tract specimens withou...

Corynebacterium halotolerans Chen et al. 2004 is a member of the genus Corynebacterium which contains Gram-positive bacteria with a high G+C content. C. halotolerans, isolated from a saline soil, belongs to the non-lipophilic, non-pathogenic corynebacteria. It displays a high tolerance to salts (up to 25%) and is related to the pathogenic corynebacteria C. freneyi and C. xerosis. As this is a t...
متن کاملCharacterization of some bacterial strains isolated from animal clinical materials and identified as Corynebacterium xerosis by molecular biological techniques.
Eighteen Corynebacterium xerosis strains isolated from different animal clinical specimens were subjected to phenotypic and molecular genetic studies. On the basis of the results of the biochemical characterization, the strains were tentatively identified as C. xerosis. Phylogenetic analysis based on comparative analysis of the sequences of 16S rRNA and rpoB genes revealed that the 18 strains w...
