초록

Corynebacterium striatum is a commonly isolated contaminant in the clinical microbiology. However, it can be an opportunistic pathogen in immunocompromised and even immunocompetent hosts. The increasing prevalence of C. striatum infection has been associated with immunosuppression and prosthetic devices. We report a case of meningitis with cerebrospinal fluid drainage and a case of catheter-related bloodstream infection caused by C. striatum. The isolates were identified as nondiphtherial Corynebacterium species by VITEK 2 (bioMérieux, France) anaerobe and Corynebacterium card. The final identification by 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis was C. striatum with 99.7% identity and 99.6% identity with C. striatum ATCC 6940, respectively. Both strains were sensitive to vancomycin and gentamicin, but multidrug- resistant to ciprofloxacin, penicillin, erythromycin and imipenem.
