ABSTRACT
Recently, non-diphtheriae Corynebacterium spp. have been increasingly reported in patients. In addition, several novel species of Corynebacterium isolated from humans. Here, we report two cases of human infections caused by Corynebacterium haemomassiliense-like organisms, which had not been identified at the species level by MALDI-TOF MS analysis. They were revealed to be closely related to C. haemomassiliense, a recently described species by three housekeeping genes (16S rRNA, rpoB, and gyrA) and phenotypic features. Both strains were multidrug-resistant but susceptible to vancomycin, meropenem, and linezolid. Our report suggests that human infections by the recently described Corynebacterium species may not be limited to a specific region, in addition to difficulty of classifying the genus Corynebacterium.
