Retrospective evaluation of the clinical characteristics associated with Corynebacterium species bacteremia

ConclusionsWe found that younger age, shorter time to positivity, and presence of an indwelling catheter were related to bacteremia caused by Corynebacterium spp. Appropriate antimicrobials should be administered once Corynebacterium spp. are isolated from the blood and bacteremia is suspected.
