Corynebacterium striatum and Corynebacterium amycolatum were the most common isolated species in CVC-related NDCi.
Cases of CVC infection were mainly due to Corynebacterium amycolatum (n = 7).
These included Propionibacterium propionicus,
Corynebacterium amycolatum, Actinomyces massiliensis, and Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, reported Teri M.

(1) No bacteria were observed on histopathologic examination or was isolated, but a
Corynebacterium amycolatum was suspected in this case.
(3) In these two studies, we found a total of 73 Corynebacterium isolates; Corynebacterium auris was the most common organism in patients with AOE, and
Corynebacterium amycolatum and Corynebacterium pseudodiphtheriticum were the most common isolates in patients with middle ear infection.
The Boswellia-extract was effective against Streptococcus pyogenes, Corynebacterium amycolatum and E.

We describe three cases of nosocomial endocarditis caused by nondiphtheriae corynebacteria, including the first reported case of
Corynebacterium amycolatum endocarditis.
Three months before presentation of this penguin, a large percentage of the yellow-eyed penguin chicks from the region where this bird was found had been affected by a severe bacterial stomatitis caused by
Corynebacterium amycolatum. (6) The infection, which resulted in high mortality, produced a severe diphtheritic stomatitis and upper respiratory tract infection, with occasional involvement of the lungs and inner ear.
