Abstract

Four coagulase-negative, novobiocin-resistant cocci, designated CW1, PM34, MM3 and RW78, were isolated from the respiratory tract of goats kept in the Himalayan region. The four isolates were assigned to a single species on the basis of almost identical biochemical and physiological traits, protein profiles obtained after SDS-PAGE and identical genomic fingerprints generated after enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (ERIC)-PCR. Strain CW1 showed highest 16S rDNA sequence similarities to subsp. ATCC 49330, subsp. ATCC 15305, subsp. ATCC 29974, ATCC 43957, ATCC 35539, ATCC 700337 and ATCC 29971 (99·0, 98·8, 98·8, 98·4, 98·2, 98·1 and 98·1 %, respectively), indicating its classification within the genus . The polar lipid composition, fatty acid profiles, quinone systems and diagnostic cell-wall diamino acid were in agreement with the characteristics of the genus . DNA–DNA hybridization with closely related species suggested that strain CW1 represents an as-yet unrecognized species. Based on these results, a novel species of the genus is described, sp. nov. The type strain is CW1 (=DSM 15150=CCM 7045) and the most dissimilar strain is PM34 (=DSM 15151=CCM 7046).
