Abstract

A facultatively anaerobic, Gram-reaction-positive, catalase- and oxidase-negative, rod-shaped bacterium isolated from an infected human wound caused by a dog bite was characterized by phenotypic and molecular genetic methods. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain IMMIB Q2029717 was a member of the order of the class , displaying 91.6 % to 96 % sequence similarity with members of the family . Phylogentic trees generated by different algorithms indicated that the strain forms an independent phylogenetic line of descent that consistently clustered proximal to the base of the genus . Chemical studies revealed the presence of a cell-wall murein based on -lysine (type B1α), major menaquinone (MK-10) and a DNA G+C content of 56.9 mol%. The distinct phylogenetic position, ribotyping and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight MS profiles and the significant phenotypic differences clearly separate strain IMMIB Q2029717 from its nearest phylogenetic neighbour and support its classification as a representative of a novel genus and species, with the suggested name gen. nov., sp. nov. The type strain is IMMIB Q2029717 ( = DSM 27064 = CCUG 64069).
