Bacteremia Caused by Corynebacterium amycolatum with a Novel Mutation in gyrA Gene that Confers High-Level Quinolone Resistance

Although Corynebacterium amycolatum can cause opportunistic infections, it is commonly considered as contaminant. In this report, we present a case of bacteremia caused by C. amycolatum with a novel mutation in the gyrA gene that confers high-level quinolone resistance to the organism.
