Researchers foresee trends in diphtheria incidence Updated: Updated: Study maps tox genes, progression of antimicrobial resistance in pathogen Share Article AAA Typical signs: Formation of white-grey pseudomembrane over parts of the throat, voice box and tonsils and swollen bull neck are considered stereotypical.   | Photo Credit: Special arrangement Study maps tox genes, progression of antimicrobial resistance in pathogen Researchers from India, the U.K. and Russia have analysed a large collection of 502 genomes sourced from over 16 countries and collected from over a period of 122 years of the bacterium that causes diphtheria – Corynebacterium diphtheriae. The results of this massive and collaborative study hint that we need to anticipate increase in incidence of diphtheria which may be fomented by the diversity of the species, emergence of variant toxin genes and progression of antimicrobial resistance.
