Identification and Evolutionary Relationship of Corynebacterium striatum Clinical Isolates.

ABSTRACT: Corynebacterium striatum has developed into a new community-acquired and hospital-acquired multi-drug resistance (MDR) bacterium, and is a potential target pathogen for infection control and antibacterial management projects. In this study, non-duplicate samples of inpatients were collected from a local central hospital. Mass spectrometry showed that 54 C. striatum isolates mainly appeared in secretion and sputum from 14 departments. Protein fingerprint cluster analysis showed that the isolates were divided into four groups, most of which appeared in summer. The drug resistance test showed that all strains had multi-drug resistance, with high resistance rates to lincosamides, quinolones and tetracycline detected. Further analysis of the phylogenetic tree of C. striatum
