Corynebacterineae
The Corynebacterineae comprise a suborder of the Actinomycetales and include most of the acid-fast bacteria. Therewith it is a subgroup of the high GC-content and Gram-positive bacteria. Among its subgroup Mycobacteriaceae are the species which cause tuberculosis and leprosy.Phylogeny
The phylogeny is based on 16S rRNA-based LTP release 123 by 'The All-Species Living Tree' Project.Taxonomy
