摘要

We reported previously the finding of a non-toxigenic C. diphtheriae biovar belfanti strain in a free-roaming red fox (Vulpes vulpes). Recently, mainly based on Whole Genome Sequencing data the C. diphtheriae species complex was broadened, i.e. in the C. diphtheriae branch by the two novel species C. belfantii and C. rouxii. According to novel sequence data the reported isolate from the fox has to be re-classified as C. rouxii. An updated review on both C. diphtheriae and C. rouxii in animals is given.
