  • Title: Possible human-to-human transmission of toxigenic Corynebacterium ulcerans.
    Author: Konrad R, Hörmansdorfer S, Sing A.
    Journal: Clin Microbiol Infect; 2015 Aug; 21(8):768-71. PubMed ID: 26027917.
    Abstract:
    Toxigenic Corynebacterium ulcerans is an emerging cause of diphtheria. In contrast to the classical diphtheria pathogen C. diphtheriae, human-to-human transmission of this primarily zoonotic pathogen has not been clearly documented. Here we report on a two-person cluster suggesting an initial zoonotic and a subsequent human-to-human transmission event.
