Species code:	CORDI
Taxonomy:	Bacteria; Actinobacteria; Actinobacteridae; Actinomycetales; Corynebacterineae; Corynebacteriaceae; Corynebacterium (TaxID: 1717) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	Bacteria from genus Corynebacterium are Gram-positive, nonmotile rods. C.diphtheriae produces the diphtheria toxin. Diphtheria is an acute disease that usually affects the tonsils, throat, nose and/or skin. It is passed from person to person by droplet transmission, usually by breathing in diphtheria bacteria after an infected person has coughed or sneezed. It can lead to breathing problems, heart failure, paralysis and sometimes death.
Properties:	Presence of flagella: No Interaction: Animal pathogen in Mammalia Number of membranes: 1 Number of inteins:0
Statistics:	Number of CORDI entries in the UniProt Knowledgebase: 2264 (323 in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot + 1941 in UniProtKB/TrEMBL)

Genome structure:	Chromosome EMBL accession number BX248353 (circular; 2,488,635 bp) (download entry) (download Genome Reviews).
