Corynebacterium kroppenstedtii has been associated with infections of the female breast. Genome sequencing of two strains revealed a specific genomic island in the multidrug-resistant isolate CNM633/14 with similarity to the R plasmid pJA144188 of Corynebacterium resistens DSM 45100, being indicative of the horizontal transfer of antibiotic resistance genes to C. kroppenstedtii.
