Description

Bacteria from genus Corynebacterium are Gram-positive, nonmotile rods. C.diphtheriae produces the diphtheria toxin, which is usually encoded by a bacteriphage or by an integrated prophage as in this strain. Diphtheria is an acute disease that usually affects the tonsils, throat, nose and/or skin. It is passed from person to person by droplet transmission, usually by breathing in diphtheria bacteria after an infected person has coughed or sneezed. It can lead to breathing problems, heart failure, paralysis and sometimes death. (HAMAP: CORDI)
