The species Corynebacterium pyruviciproducens was described in 2010 based on the features of a single strain. In this report, we describe the chemotaxonomic and phenotypic characteristics of 11 C. pyruviciproducens clinical strains isolated in Switzerland and Canada in comparison to the strain 06-17730(T). Heterogeneities within the type strain were found in the 16S rRNA gene and in biochemical markers. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) i ...[more]
