Abstract

The phylogenetic position of the causative agent of septicemia anserum exsudativa, now most often referred to as [] (brackets indicate a generically misnamed taxon) or “[] anatipestifer,” was established by performing rRNA cistron similarity studies. [] belongs to rRNA superfamily V, together with the genera , and The detailed structure of rRNA superfamily V, which now contains five major rRNA homology groups, is described. An analysis of various phenotypic parameters, including new data (cellular proteins and fatty acids) and previously published data (respiratory quinones, enzyme activities, and classical phenotypic features), revealed that [] differs in many aspects from its closest relatives, , and The combined genotypic and phenotypic data indicate that this organism should be placed in a separate genus; the name gen. nov., comb. nov. is proposed for this bacterium. The specific epithet is kept in order to avoid nomenclatural confusion. However, it should be emphasized that the illness caused by this organism is a septicemic disease which is not restricted to ducks.
