Emergence of related nontoxigenic Corynebacterium diphtheriae biotype mitis strains in Western Europe.

We report on 17 isolates of Corynebacterium diphtheriae biotype mitis with related ribotypes from Switzerland, Germany, and France. Isolates came from skin and subcutaneous infections of injecting drug users, homeless persons, prisoners, and elderly orthopedic patients with joint prostheses or prima...
