説明

Corynebacterium propinquum, which is included in Corynebacterium group ANF-3, exists as a commensal in the oral flora. This organism has not yet been fully recognized as a respiratory pathogen. Wepreviously reported that the first case with respiratory infection caused by C. propinquum. On the other hand, Corynebacterium pseudodiphtheriticum is recognized as a causative organism in respiratory infections. Recently we experienced two cases with C. Propinquum respiratory infections in our hospital. Three types of the onset such as a community-acquired infection, a hospital-acquired infection, and a nursing home acquired infections were observed. Our analysis indicated that gram staining of the purulent sputum is an essential tool to evaluate whether C. propinquum is a respiratory pathogen or not, because this organism is a commensal bacteria.
