Product details

This kit in detail

Description

Corynebacterium diphtheriae is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming bacterium that is the causative agent of diphtheria, a potentially severe and sometimes fatal disease. The most common form is respiratory diphtheria, which presents with sore throat, fever, and the formation of a thick grayish pseudomembrane over the tonsils, pharynx, or larynx that can obstruct breathing. The bacterium produces a potent exotoxin—diphtheria toxin—that can lead to systemic complications, including myocarditis, neuropathy, and kidney damage. Transmission occurs through respiratory droplets or contact with infected skin lesions.
