Thirty-two isolates of Corynebacterium urealyticum, isolated between 1991 and 1995, were studied by biochemical tests, phospholipid content, analysis of fatty and mycolic acids, ribotyping, whole-cell protein patterns and antimicrobial susceptibility to six antibiotics. Nineteen isolates were from human and human-related sources (HHRS); the remainder were from animal and animal-related sources (AARS). Most C. urealyticum isolates were similar in their biochemical and whole-cell protein profiles, although most HHRS isolates were alkaline phosphatase-positive (84%) and produced almost identical protein patterns, whereas AARS isolates were quite diverse. The qualitative composition of cellular fatty acids was identical for all isolates examined. Twelve different ribotypes were obtained with HindIII producing four-to-seven bands. Ribotypes 8, 9 and 10 were predominant in isolates from HHRS, whereas in isolates from AARS, ribotypes 5 and 6 predominated. AARS isolates were significantly less antibiotic-resistant, in comparison with HHRS isolates. Ribotyping appeared to be the most useful tool for strain characterisation.
