Abstract

Diphtheria is an acute infectious disease caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae. The toxin released by C. diphtheriae causes the disease. Nontoxigenic strains also may cause less severe disease. Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis, which primarily infects animals, rarely causes a diphtheria-like disease in humans.
