The interaction of Corynebacterium diphtheriae and closely related species with host cells is much more complex than originally thought when these bacteria were considered as extracellular pathogens. Host-pathogen interaction studies revealed a wide range of virulence factors contributing to adhesion, invasion, and host cell damage to varying degrees. In combination, these factors lead to the successful colonization of host systems.
