RT Journal Article SR Electronic(1) A1 Coenye, Tom A1 Vandamme, Peter A1 LiPuma, John J.YR 2003 T1 Ralstonia respiraculi sp. nov., isolated from the respiratory tract of cystic fibrosis patients JF International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, VO 53 IS 5 SP 1339 OP 1342 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.02440-0 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1466-5034, AB Five isolates recovered from the respiratory tract of cystic fibrosis patients were included in a polyphasic taxonomic study that employed 16S rDNA sequence analysis, cellular protein and fatty acid analysis and biochemical characterization. Four isolates were classified as a novel Ralstonia species, for which the name Ralstonia respiraculi sp. nov. is proposed; the other isolate was phylogenetically closely related to R. respiraculi, but is likely to represent another novel Ralstonia species. The type strain of R. respiraculi is AU3313T (=LMG 21510T=CCUG 46809T)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.02440-0
