Bacteriological study of strains of Corynebacterium diphtheriae isolated in São Paulo State, during the period 1980-1986.

Abstract
A biochemical study was made of 386 strains of Corynebacterium diphtheriae isolated at the Central Public Health Laboratory for the State of São Paulo in the period 1980-1986. Sacharose was fermented by 58.3070of the strains. The rnost frequent biotype was mitis (52.2%) while intermedius and gravis showed frequencies of 26.4% and 9.9%, respectively, while 11.7% were atypical. Of the intermedius type strains, 75.5% fermented sacharose. Elek's method showed that 92.8% of the strains of ali types were toxigenic and that 97.3% of the sacharose-fermenting strains were toxigenic.
