Corynebacterium matruchotii are Gram positive bacilli with long filaments and short, thick terminal ends. C. matruchotii is a bacterium of significance within the oral cavity and comprises the central filament of "corn-cob formations" (formations in which Streptococcus sanguinis bacteria bind to and surround C. matruchotii to create a corn-cob appearance). C. matruchotii can be isolated from dental plaque, although it is not known to be associated with the etiology of dental diseases.[2]
