Characterization and Comparison of Invasive Corynebacterium diphtheriae Isolates from France and Poland

Farfour, E.; Badell, E.; Zasada, A.; Hotzel, Helmut ; Tomaso, Herbert ; Guillot, S.; Guiso, N.

Corynebacterium diphtheriae, the agent of diphtheria, is rarely responsible for bacteremia. However, high numbers of bacteremia have been reported in countries with extensive immunization coverage. Here, we used molecular and phenotypic tools to characterize and compare 42 invasive isolates collected in France (including New Caledonia) and Poland over a 23-year period.
