Biotypes of Corynebacterium diphtheriae Corynebacterium diphtheriae is a nonmotile, noncapsulated, club-shaped, gram-positive bacillus. Toxigenic strains are lysogenic for one of a family of corynebacteriophages that carry the structural gene for diphtheria toxin, tox. Corynebacterium diphtheriae is classified into biotypes (mitis, intermedius, and gravis) according to colony morphology, as well as into lysotypes based upon corynebacteriophage sensitivity. Sushi Drive Info Windows 7. McLeod and Anderson classified diphtheria bacilli, based on the colony characteristics on Tellurite medium and other properties like biochemical reactions and severity of disease. Properties Gravis Intermedius Mitis Morphology – Short Rods – Uniform Staining – Few or no granules – May be pleomorphic – Long-barred forms, clubbed end – Poor Granulation – Very pleomorphic – Long Rods – curved shaped – pleomorphic – Prominent granules Colony on Tellurite Blood Agar ≥ 2mm, dull greyish black, opaque colonies, daisy head, brittle, like cold margarine.
