Abstract |
The genus Corynebacterium bacteria are one of the difficult bacteria to analysis in clinical laboratories. Recently, detection significance of the genus Corynebacterium as clinical bacteriology has been clearing because we can identify the bacteria exactly with remarkable development of molecular biology. This review is described that current status and laboratory procedure about virulence strain and opportunistic bacteria in Japan. |
