Abstract
Coryneforms other than Corynebacterium diphtheriae are part of bacterial flora of human skin and mucous membrane. Corynebacterium jeikeium is a rarely reported species from clinical samples, although reported from oral or pharyngeal samples of healthy individuals. Here, we report a case of exudative pharyngitis due to C. jeikeium.
