Abstract
Corynebacterium striatum, which is a common coloniser of human skin and mucous membranes, is increasingly being recognised as an emerging pathogen. We present a case of a 69-year-old woman with empyema and osteomyelitis caused by C. striatum. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case where these two infections from this bacterium were identified together in the same individual. 2016 BMJ Publishing Group Ltd.Entities:
