Diphtheria toxin-producing
Corynebacterium ulcerans
is an emerging zoonotic pathogen that causes severe disease in humans. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of
C. ulcerans
strain TSU-28, harboring two diphtheria toxin genes, which was isolated from the throat of a patient with diphtheria-like symptoms in 2019 in Japan.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
