Article Synopsis
- Corynebacterium auriscanis is commonly found in dogs with skin infections and can spread to humans through bites, but its pathogenic functions are not well understood.
- This study aimed to analyze the genomes of three C. auriscanis strains to identify genes linked to its virulence and survival mechanisms.
- Findings revealed 42 potential virulence factors, but none categorized as true virulence factors, indicating that C. auriscanis behaves more like an opportunistic pathogen rather than a primary one.
