Phenotypic characterization and whole genome analysis of a multidrug-resistant Corynebacterium glucuronolyticum strain isolated from genitourinary tract for the first time in Latin America
Abstract:Corynebacterium spp. have emerged as opportunistic pathogens, with
increasing reports of isolation from patients with mild and severe
infections. Corynebacterial isolates were found expressing
multidrug-resistant (MDR) phenotypes in most cases. In the present work,
we report the isolation of an MDR C. glucuronolyticum strain from the
human urogenital tract. In addition, we provide comprehensive genomic
data of the isolate that was first identified by mass spectrometry
(MALDI-TOF) and had its antimicrobial susc… Show more
