Comparative genome analysis of Corynebacterium ulcerans Japanese isolates revealed domestically and globally diverse geographical distribution of the organism of different types.

Miyuki Kimura, Sekizuka Tsuyoshi, Makoto Kuroda…·Masaaki Iwaki

The paper analyzes over 700 genomes of Corynebacterium ulcerans and C. ramonii isolates to reveal geographic differences in sequence types and toxigenic prophage compositions, with ST337 predominating in Japan and associations between prophage types and toxin production.
