Article Synopsis
- Corynebacterium spp. are common in the environment and part of human and animal microbiota, but human infections from these bacteria have increased recently, especially with multidrug-resistant strains emerging globally.
- This study aims to present a newly identified species of Corynebacterium from human bone tissue that had been previously misidentified using standard methods.
- Advanced genomic analyses showed significant differences between the newly identified isolates and related species, leading to the conclusion that a new species, named Corynebacterium hiratae sp. nov., has been discovered.
Non-diphtheria Corynebacterium species (NDC) belonging to the human skin and mucosa microbiota are frequently neglected as contaminants. However, reports of human infections by Corynebacterium spp. have increased considerably in recent years.
