Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis is a facultative intracellular pathogen that belongs to the so-called CMN ( Corynebacterium-Mycobacterium-Nocardia ) group, a distinct subgroup of the Actinobacteria that also includes other highly important bacterial pathogens, such as Corynebacterium diphtheriae and Mycobacterium tuberculosis .

Species1
Corynebacterium efficiens is a thermotolerant, glutamic acid-producing (from dextrin) species of bacteria from soil and vegetables. (wikipedia.org)
Bacteria1
Phylogenetic analyses of the MalE, MalF and MalG homologs of T. maritima showed these all group with their respective homologs from enteric bacteria, Thermobifida fusca and Corynebacterium efficiens YS-314 suggesting horizontal transfer of these maltose transporter genes among these bacteria.

Organism1
Corynebacterium glutamicum is a nonpathogenic gram-positive bacterium used as an important industrial strain for amino acid, nucleic acid, organic acid, alcohol, and biopolymer production and is a key model organism for studying pathogen evolution, such as Corynebacterium diphtheriae and Mycobacterium tuberculosis , which are phylogenetically related to C. glutamicum [ 5 ].

Genus1
Corynebacterium diphtheriae is a Gram-positive, non-spore forming, non-motile, pleomorphic rod belonging to the genus Corynebacterium and the actinomycete group of organisms. (nih.gov)
