MICROBIOLOGY. Corynebacterium diphtheriae is the leading causing agent of diphtheria.It is a non-motile, non-encapsulated, non-sporulating gram-positive rod-shaped bacterium with a high GC-content and occurs in four biovars: gravis, mitis, intermedius, and belfanti, based on colonial morphology and biochemical profiles.
The disease is caused by the exotoxin produced by corynebacterium diphtheria. It is a gram positive rod shaped bacteria which grows mainly in the throat, larynx and other portions of the upper respiratory tract. It is found in the secretions of the mouth, nose and throat.
