This chapter deals with aerobically growing, asporogenous, irregularly shaped, non‐
partially acid‐fast, gram‐positive rods generally called" coryneforms." The bacteria …

Abstract Over a 14-month period, 415 clinical isolates of coryneform gram-positive rods were
recovered from various sources and identified to the species level according to recent …

Coryneform bacteria are aerobically growing, asporogenous, non-partially-acid-fast, gram-
positive rods of irregular morphology. Within the last few years, there has been a massive …

Coryneform isolates from clinical specimens frequently cannot be identified by either
reference laboratories or research laboratories. Many of these organisms are skin flora that …

The Rapid CORYNE system for identification of aerobic, nonsporeforming, gram-positive
rods was evaluated according to the manufacturer's instructions with 177 organisms. After …

In a multicenter study, 407 strains of coryneform bacteria were tested with the updated and
extended API (RAPID) Coryne system with database 2.0 (bioMérieux, La-Balme-les-Grottes …

Identification of coryneform bacteria to the species level is important in certain circumstances
for differentiating contamination and/or colonization from infection, which influences …

A study was performed to evaluate a new manual miniaturized system, API Coryne (API-
bioMérieux, Inc., La Balme les Grottes, France), in which conventional biochemical methods …

There are perhaps few groups of bacteria of which the typical representa tives are easier to
recognize and the aberrant types more numerous and more difficult to separate than those …

The susceptibilities of 135 coryneform bacteria isolated from clinical samples to ampicillin
(AMP), cephalothin (CR), cefoxitin (FOX), cefotaxime (CTX), erythromycin (E), ciprofloxacin …
