A total of 221 patients with nonspecific inflammatory processes were studied with a view to determine the occurrence and species composition of microorganisms of the genus Corynebacterium on the mucous membrane and in the secretions of their genitals. Different representatives of this genus were detected in 23.1 +/- 3.5% of patients with cervicitis and endometritis and in 48.7 +/- 5.7% of patients with prostatitis. Among the isolated bacteria of this genus C. pseudogenitalium, C. genitalium and C. xerosis, as well as Corynebacterium cells of group JK, occurred most frequently. The strains under study were found to have high antibiotic resistance. On the basis of their cultural features, growth rate, the degree of contamination of the genitals and sensitivity to antibiotics, bacteria of this genus were differentiated into macro- and microcoryneforms.

Background: Early life gut microbiota is known to shape the immune system and has a crucial role in immune homeostasis. Only little is known about composition and dynamics of the intestinal microbiota in infants with congenital heart disease (CHD) and potential influencing factors.
Methods: We evaluated the intestinal microbial composition of neonates with CHD ( = 13) compared to healthy controls (HC, = 30).

The molecular mechanisms utilized by to promote colorectal tumor development have largely focused on adhesin-mediated binding to the tumor tissue and on the pro-inflammatory capacity of . However, the exact manner in which promotes inflammation in the tumor microenvironment and subsequent tumor promotion remains underexplored.
