About Corynebacterium striatum

Corynebacterium striatum, a gram-positive and non-sporulating rod, has recently been discovered for its pathogenic properties. Even though it has been known since the early 20th cen- tury, C.striatum was often disregarded as a pathogen since it is part of the typical human skin microbiota1. Nevertheless, it was found that, especially in immunocompromised patients, C.striatum can be the source for diseases such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, also known as COPD or pneumonia2. Not only is C. striatum active within the respiratory tract, but it was also attributed to long-standing open wound infections3 and prolonged hospitalizations4.
