Two deoxyribonucleic acid hybridization groups were found among Brochothrix strains isolated from various sources. One genospecies contained 165 strains and included the type strain of Brochothrix thermosphacta. The other genospecies (five strains) represented a new species, for which the name Brochothrix campestris sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is strain S3 (= CIP 102920 = ATCC 43754). B. campestris differs from B. thermosphacta by growth in the presence of 8 and 10% NaCI and 0.05% (wt/vol) potassium tellurite, by hippurate hydrolysis, and by acid production from rhamnose.
