Details
Corynebacterium diphtheriae, is a little bugger that causes Diphtheria. While often mild or unnoticeable, Diphtheria can sometimes cause a leathery pseudomembrane at the back of the throat that can lead to strangulation in up to 10% of cases. If you love the story of Balto, the serum he helped carry to Nome, Alaska was the antitoxin for Diphtheria.
