What special test is necessary to prove that the diphtheria organism has the potential to cause disease?

To prove that the diphtheria organism (Corynebacterium diphtheriae) has the potential to cause disease, the Elek test is commonly used. This test detects the presence of diphtheria toxin produced by the bacteria. A positive result indicates that the organism is capable of causing disease due to toxin production. The Elek test is performed by inoculating a culture medium with the suspected organism and then applying antitoxin to observe for toxin production through a characteristic precipitin line.
