  • Title: [Can the isolation of nontoxigenic strains of Corynebacterium serve as a basis for establishing a diagnosis of diphtheria?].
    Author: Shestakova IV.
    Journal: Lik Sprava; 1993 Jan; (1):117-9. PubMed ID: 8379128.
    Abstract:
    It is suggested that isolation of nontoxigenic strains of diphtheria corynebacteria is a bacteriological proof of the diagnosis. Underestimation of the epidemiological situation, presence of nontoxigenic corynebacteria in a patient with angina may result in fatal errors.
