New <em>Corynebacterium</em> Species with the Potential to Produce Diphtheria Toxin
Only three <i>Corynebacterium</i> species are known to produce a lethal exotoxin called diphtheria toxin. These are <i>C. diphtheriae, C. ulcerans</i> and <i>C. pseudotuberculosis</i>. The diphtheria toxin gene (<i>tox</i>) is carried in a family of cl...
