Strains isolated from axillary skin and hair included representatives of several groups but many strains were placed in groups 1 and 6A. Neither of these groups contained any reference strains and may constitute hitherto undescribed species. The reference strains of C. diphtheriae formed a coherent group not closely related to any non-pathogenic Corynebacterium species.", }
