Characterization of a -like organism from the oral cavity of a dog: description of sp. nov Free

Abstract

A hitherto unknown Gram-positive, catalase-negative, facultatively anaerobic coccus isolated from a vesicle on the gum of a dog was characterized by phenotypic and molecular taxonomic methods. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequencing studies demonstrated that the isolate represents a new subline within the genus . The unknown bacterium was readily distinguished from all currently described members of this genus, and , by biochemical tests and electrophoretic analysis of whole-cell proteins. On the basis of phylogenetic and phenotypic evidence, it is proposed that the unknown bacterium be classified sp. nov. The type strain of is CCUG 39489.
