Abstract
The genus Corynebacterium, defined by the presence of mesodiaminopimelic acid, arabinose and corynomycolic acids in the cell wall, contains a very diverse group of organisms according to the results of numerical analysis of protein patterns; 13 groups were distinguished. Strains isolated from [human] axillary skin and hair included representatives of several groups; many strains were placed in groups 1 and 6A. Neither of these groups contained any reference strains and may constitute hitherto undescribed species. The reference strains of C. diphtheriae formed a coherent group not closely related to any non-pathogenic Corynebacterium spp.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
