are corynebacterium species a common commensal
Corynebacterium (korkôr-u-nē-bak'tēr-ē, um-ku'rin-) u is a genus Of-gram, positive, aerobic-rod shaped. Bacteria they are widely distributed in nature and are mostly. innocuous These criteria include those for the “Big Four” infection types (surgical site infection [SSI], pneumonia [PNEU], bloodstream infection [BSI] and urinary tract infection [UTI]), outlined in earlier chapters of this manual, as well as criteria for other types of HAI. Nonpathogenic species of Corynebacterium are used for very important industrial applications, such as the production of amino acids, nucleotides, and other nutritional factors (Martin, martín); 1989 bioconversion of; steroids degradation of; hydrocarbons cheese; aging and production of (Enzymes khurana et., al). 2000 Corynebacterium (korkôr-u-nē-bak'tēr-ē, um-ku'rin-) u is a genus Of-gram, positive, aerobic-rod shaped. Bacteria they are widely distributed in nature and are mostly. Innocuous some are useful in industrial settings such As. c. glutamicum Corynebacterium species occur commonly in nature in the soil, water, plants, and food products. The nondiphtheiroid Corynebacterium species can even be found in the mucosa and normal skin flora of humans and animals. Some species are known for their pathogenic effects in humans and other animals. NOTE: Some CDC/NHSN definitions and criteria have been updated since the article contained in this chapter was published. In such cases, the updates to any criteria which are no longer valid have been listed and the changes summarized in the table below. Corynebacterium spp are a small, generally nonmotile, Gram-positive commensal bacteria of the dog skin, reproductive tract and gastrointestinal tract. Corynebacteria are aerobic or facultatively anaerobic and they exhibit a fermentative metabolism (carbohydrates to lactic acid) under certain conditions. Species which are pathogenic to dogs include: 1  Corynebacterium pyogenes (purulent infections). 2  Corynebacterium auriscanis. 3  Corynebacterium epidermidicanis. 4  Corynebacterium urealyticum (cystitis). 5  Corynebacterium ulcerans (zoonotic reservoir for human diphtheria). Two examples of these conserved signature indels are a two-amino-acid insertion in a conserved region of the enzyme phosphoribose diphosphate:decaprenyl-phosphate phosphoribosyltransferase and a three-amino-acid insertion in acetate kinase, both of which are found only in Corynebacterium species.
