Nontoxigenic corynebacterium diphtheriae: an emerging pathogen in England and Wales?

M Reacher1, M Ramsay, J White, A De Zoysa, A Efstratiou, G Mann, A Mackay, R C George.   

Abstract

Confirmed isolates of nontoxigenic Corynebacterium diphtheriae in England and Wales increased substantially from 1986 to 1994. Ribotyping of 121 isolates confirmed in 1995 showed that 90 were of a single strain isolated exclusively from the throat; none had previously been identified in toxigenic strains from U.K. or non-U.K. residents. The upward trend in nontoxigenic C. diphtheriae probably represented increased ascertainment, although dissemination of a particular strain or clone may have been a factor.
