Corynebacterium camporealensis is a species of Gram-positive facultatively anaerobic rod-shaped bacteria in the genus Corynebacterium. It was first isolated in 1998 from the milk of sheep with subclinical mastitis in Campo Real, Spain.[1]

Isolation and ecology
This species has been isolated from the milk of sheep affected by subclinical mastitis, particularly from the Manchega breed. The type strain (CRS‑51) was obtained from a bacteriologically positive milk sample from a clinically healthy sheep. Other isolates have been recovered from sheep at additional sites in Spain.[1]
Morphology and physiology
Cells are non-motile, non-spore-forming, and rod-shaped, often forming V-shapes or palisades. Colonies on blood agar are circular, creamy, non-hemolytic, and 1–2 mm in diameter after 48 hours at 37 °C. The organism shows a strong CAMP reaction with Staphylococcus aureus and grows best under aerobic conditions, though limited anaerobic growth is possible.[2]
Chemotaxonomy
The cell wall contains meso-diaminopimelic acid and short-chain mycolic acids, which are characteristic features of the genus Corynebacterium.[1]
Genomics
The complete genome of strain DSM 44610 is 2,451,810 base pairs in length with a G+C content of 59.41%. It encodes 2,249 protein-coding sequences, 4 rRNA operons, and 51 tRNA genes.[3]
Pathogenicity
The bacterium is associated with subclinical mastitis but not with overt clinical disease.[2][4]
