Corynebacterium striatum
Management
- Only reliably susceptible to vancomycin, daptomycin, and linezolid (essentially 100% susceptibility)12
- Next-best oral option is tetracycline, but only has 35% susceptibility, or co-trimoxazole (similar susceptibility)
- Sometimes ciprofloxacin (best of the fluoroquinolones)
- Other options include quinupristin-dalfopristin (100%), aminoglycosides (93%), and rifampin (85%)
- Rare susceptibility to beta lactams (ranging from amoxicillin to ceftriaxone to meropenem) and clindamycin
