1. Normal microbiota: Some members of the Corynebacteriaceae family are part of the normal microbiota in humans and animals, particularly on the skin and mucous membranes. They can play a role in maintaining a healthy microbial balance and protecting against colonization by pathogenic microorganisms.

2. Pathogenic species: Certain bacteria within the Corynebacteriaceae family are known to be pathogenic to humans and can cause a range of infections, particularly in immunocompromised individuals or those with underlying health conditions. One well-known example is Corynebacterium diphtheriae, the causative agent of diphtheria, a potentially serious respiratory disease characterized by the formation of a thick pseudomembrane in the throat.

3. Skin infections: Other members of the Corynebacteriaceae family, such as certain species of Corynebacterium, can cause skin infections, including erythrasma, a superficial infection characterized by red-brown patches, and other forms of dermatitis.

4. Medical device-related infections: Corynebacteriaceae species are also known to be associated with infections related to medical devices, such as catheters, prosthetic implants, and surgical wounds. These infections can be challenging to treat and may require antibiotic therapy and/or removal of the infected device.

5. Antibiotic resistance: Some Corynebacteriaceae species have developed resistance to multiple antibiotics, posing challenges for treatment and control of infections caused by these bacteria.

6. Zoonotic potential: Certain Corynebacteriaceae species have zoonotic potential, meaning they can be transmitted between animals and humans. For example, Corynebacterium ulcerans, primarily a pathogen of animals, can cause diphtheria-like symptoms in humans through contact with infected animals or contaminated animal products.

• The interactions are based on data from 1000 healthy individuals using shotgun 10M reads Precision Biome, a provider in full conformity to EU regulations for health information
• The width of the lines indicates R² (the coefficient of determination)
• Green indicates positive slope
• Red indicates negative
• Interactions are not two way because incidence of each bacteria are different
