Currently, MALDI-TOF/ 16 s-RNA sequencing helps identify this organism.

As this is skin flora, interpretation of pathogenicity/ role in disease process is carefully interpreted.

Our patient is receiving Dalbavancin for vertebral osteo treatment targeting this organism.

#IDtwitter 45 yo w/ L4-5 discitis/OM now, h/o L5-S1 OM (destructive changes at this level👇🏼) Rx 2015 w/ vanc/cefepime x6wk empirically (Pt not open to biopsy then).Unrelenting LBP continued->multiple steroid injections->Corynebacterium tuberculostearicum on biopsy this occasion!

[UT Health SA ID @UTHealthSA_ID]

"... isolation of C. tuberculostearicum from human clinical samples is underreported since this species is not included in the API Coryne database and is therefore systematically misidentified as other lipophilic corynebacteria such as C. macginleyi or C. jeikeium."
