Abstract

An investigation of the prevalence of in a variety of animals led to the identification of the strain CIT 045, in the faeces of captive lion-tailed macaques (). Originally, believed to be based on the colony morphology and positive urease test, analysis of 16S rRNA and gene sequences of this isolate revealed that the strain differs significantly from other species of the genus described to date. Species-specific primers for 16S rRNA and genes were designed and used to identify two additional strains isolated from faeces samples from other macaques. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA and genes revealed ≤95 % and ≤82 % sequence similarity to recognized species of the genus respectively. All three isolates formed a distinct group within the genus based on their 16S rRNA and sequences and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight (MALDI-TOF) profiles. The unique species status was further supported by phenotypic characteristics of the isolates. All isolates were found to be oxidase-, catalase- and urease-positive, they grew well at 37 °C and 42 °C and produced HS on TSI (triple-sugar iron) and SIM (sulfide indole motility) media. The name sp. nov. is proposed for this novel species, with the strain CIT 045 as the type strain CIT 045 ( = LMG 27932, CCUG 64942).
