This review gathers recent information about genomic and transcriptomic studies in the
Corynebacterium genus, exploring, for example, prediction of pathogenicity islands and
stress response in different pathogenic and non-pathogenic species. In addition, is
described several phylogeny studies to Corynebacterium, exploring since the identification
of species until biological speciation in one species belonging to the genus
Corynebacterium. Important concepts associated with virulence highlighting the role of Pld …
