ABSTRACT
Corynebacterium striatum is an aerobic, Gram-positive bacillus that is part of the resident flora of skin and mucosal membranes. C. striatum is usually considered a non-pathogenic contaminant, although infective endocarditis and respiratory infection, and less frequently arthritis and meningitis, due to C. striatum have been reported. C. striatum has been particularly associated with catheter-related infections and infections following conditions that resulted in disruption of the skin barrier in both immunocompromised and immunocompetent hosts. We describe a case of post-operative intra-abdominal infection caused by the rare pathogen, C. striatum.
