While diphtheria of the respiratory tract became rare with the introduction of vaccination programs in industrialized countries, even today several thousand cases per year are reported to the World Health Organization. This shows that diphtheria is not completely eradicated and that reservoirs exist. The book summarizes the latest advances made in understanding C. diphtheriae and the closely related species Corynebacterium ulcerans and Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis. Topics addressed are genomics of toxigenic corynebacteria, host-pathogen-interaction, detection, surveillance and treatment as well as application aspects. 606 $aMedical microbiology 606 $aBacteriology 606 $aEpidemiology 606 $aParasitology 606 $aMicrobial genetics 606 $aMicrobial genomics 606 $aMedical Microbiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B16003 606 $aBacteriology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L23012 606 $aEpidemiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H63000 606 $aParasitology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B19002 606 $aMicrobial Genetics and Genomics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L32010 615 0$aMedical microbiology. 615 0$aBacteriology. 615 0$aEpidemiology. 615 0$aParasitology. 615 0$aMicrobial genetics. 615 0$aMicrobial genomics. 615 14$aMedical Microbiology. 615 24$aBacteriology. 615 24$aEpidemiology. 615 24$aParasitology. 615 24$aMicrobial Genetics and Genomics. 676 $a579.135 702 $aBurkovski$b Andreas$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298302003321 996 $aCorynebacterium diphtheriae and Related Toxigenic Species$92505629 997 $aUNINA
