Corynebacterium is a genus of Gram-positive facultatively anaerobic non-motile actinobacteria. Most do not cause disease, but are part of normal human skin flora. Scientific classification or biological classification is how biologists group and categorize extinct and living species of organisms. ...

In biology, a genus (plural genera) is a grouping in the classification of living organisms having one or more related and morphologically similar species. ...

Some nondiphtheria species of Corynebacterium produce disease in specific animal species, and some of these can also cause disease in humans. Some species attack healthy hosts, and others attack immunosuppressed hosts. Some of their effects include granulomatous lymphadenitis, pneumonitis, pharyngitis, skin infection, and endocarditis. Endocarditis caused by Corynebacterium spp. is particularly seen in patients with indwelling intravascular devices. Pneumonia is an inflammation of the lung. ... Pharyngitis is a painful inflammation of the pharynx, and is colloquially referred to as a sore throat. ... Endocarditis is an inflammation of the inner layer of the heart, the endocardium. ...
Infection by diphtheroids tend to occur in elderly, neutropenic, or immunocompromised patients, and those who have indwelling prosthetic devices such as heart valves, neurologic shunts, or catheters.
The corynebacteria include:
Nondiphtheriae Corynebacteria (diphtheroids)
