Extended characterization of Corynebacterium pyruviciproducens based on clinical strains from Canada and Switzerland.


ABSTRACT: 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) identification of this species could not be achieved since currently this bacterial species is not included in the corresponding database. Reliable identification is obtained only with sequence-based identification tools. Results of antimicrobial susceptibility testing of this species with an extended panel of antimicrobials are presented here for the first time.
