Abstract

Corynebacterium striatum is an emerging multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogen that occurs primarily among immunocompromised and chronically ill patients. However, little is known about the genomic diversity of C. striatum , which contributes to its long-term persistence and transmission in hospitals.
