Description: This is a slide of Corynebacterium diphtheriae, the causative agent of diphtheria.  

These bacillus cells often stain irregularly and give them a beaded appearance. The way that they lay up against each other causes many people to say they look like Chinese letters. The “D” in the DPT vaccine is to create immunity from this bacterium.
