Species code:	CORDI
Taxonomy:	Bacteria; Actinobacteria; Actinobacteridae; Actinomycetales; Corynebacterineae; Corynebacteriaceae; Corynebacterium (TaxID: 1717) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	Bacteria from the genus Corynebacterium are Gram-positive, nonmotile rods which include both pathogenic and non-pathogenic species that can live in a large variety of habitats. In addition to being animal and human pathogens, they have been isolated from soil, plant material, waste water, and dairy products. C.diphtheriae produces the diphtheria toxin, which is usually encoded by a bacteriphage or by an integrated prophage as in this strain. Diphtheria is an acute disease that usually affects the tonsils, throat, nose and/or skin. It is passed from person to person by droplet transmission, usually by breathing in diphtheria bacteria after an infected person has coughed or sneezed. It can lead to breathing problems, heart failure, paralysis and sometimes death.
