Corynebacterium (/ k ɔː ˈ r aɪ n ə b æ k ˌ t ɪər i ə m,-ˈ r ɪ n-/) is a genus of Gram-positive bacteria and most are aerobic.They are bacilli (rod-shaped), and in some phases of life they are, more specifically, club-shaped, which inspired the genus name (coryneform means "club-shaped").
It increases the pH on the skin, making the environment less acidic and therefore less hospitable to odor-causing bacteria such as Staphylococcus hominis and Corynebacterium tuberculostearicum ...
Corynebacterium jeikeium is a rod-shaped, catalase-positive, aerobic species of Actinomycetota in the genus Corynebacterium. C. jeikeium is pathogenic , typically causing an opportunistic infection seen most frequently in bone marrow transplant patients.
Both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria commonly have a surface layer called an S-layer. In gram-positive bacteria, the S-layer is attached to the peptidoglycan layer. Gram-negative bacteria's S-layer is attached directly to the outer membrane. Specific to gram-positive bacteria is the presence of teichoic acids in the cell wall. Some of ...
Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis is a Gram-positive bacterium known to infect ruminants, horses, and – rarely – people. It is a facultative anaerobic organism that is catalase -positive and capable of beta-hemolysis .
Rhodococcus fascians (known as Corynebacterium fascians until 1984) is a Gram positive bacterial phytopathogen that causes leafy gall disease. [1] R. fascians is the only phytopathogenic member of the genus Rhodococcus ; its host range includes both dicotyledonous and monocotyledonous hosts.
Nocardia is a genus of weakly staining Gram-positive, catalase-positive, rod-shaped bacteria. It forms partially acid-fast beaded branching filaments (appearing similar to fungi, but being truly bacteria). It contains a total of 85 species. Some species are nonpathogenic, while others are responsible for nocardiosis. [3]
Corynebacterium minutissimum is the bacterium that causes this infection, often club-shaped rods when observed under a microscope following a staining procedure, which is a result of snapping division which makes them look like a picket fence. This bacterium is gram-positive, which means it has a very thick cell wall that cannot be easily ...
