sp. nov., a potentially pathogenic actinomycete isolated from a human clinical source Free

Abstract

The taxonomic position of an actinomycete, strain 1BDZ, isolated from a clinical human source was determined using a polyphasic approach. Phylogenetic analysis based on almost complete 16S rDNA sequences showed that this organism consistently formed a distinct line with the subclade within the genus , and shared moderately low 16S rDNA similarity (<96·5 %) with other species. The organism was also found to have chemical and morphological properties typical of members of the genus . A range of phenotypic characteristics readily distinguished this strain from representatives of all species of with validly published names. On the basis of these data, a novel species, sp. nov., is proposed to accommodate strain 1BDZ (=AS 4.1729=PCM 2600).
