  1. Diphtheria: Corynebacterium diphtheriae is the species responsible for causing diphtheria, a potentially serious respiratory disease. Diphtheria is characterized by the formation of a thick grayish coating in the throat and can lead to difficulty breathing and other complications. Diphtheria is a vaccine-preventable disease, and vaccination programs have been successful in reducing its incidence.

  2. Skin Infections: Some Corynebacterium species, such as Corynebacterium minutissimum, can be associated with skin infections. Erythrasma is one such skin infection caused by this bacterium, characterized by red-brown patches on the skin.

  3. Coryneform Infections: The term "coryneform" is used to describe a group of bacteria, including some Corynebacterium species, that can cause opportunistic infections in humans. These infections may occur in individuals with weakened immune systems, underlying health conditions, or indwelling medical devices.

  4. Normal Microbiota: Many Corynebacterium species are part of the normal microbial flora on human skin and mucous membranes. They contribute to the balance of the microbiota and may have beneficial roles in preventing the colonization of pathogenic bacteria.

  5. Vaccination: The development and widespread use of the diphtheria vaccine have significantly reduced the incidence of diphtheria, highlighting the importance of vaccination in preventing certain Corynebacterium-associated diseases.
