At the close of the nineteenth century Lehmann and Neumann (1896) designed the genus Corynebacterium as a suitable pigeon-hole in their scheme of Bacterial classification for the organism producing the disease diphtheria and a few other organisms which were considered similar for morphological reasons. The genus consisted entirely of human and animal pathogenic or parasitic bacteria characterized by irregular, often club-like cell shapes, Gram-positive but showing irregular staining, non-acid-fast, non-motile, lacking endospores and having a predominently aerobic habitat.
