gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel member of the , isolated from various clinical samples Free

Abstract

A polyphasic taxonomic study of 14 isolates recovered from various human and veterinary clinical samples was performed. Phenotypically these isolates shared several characteristics with members of the and related genera. Random amplified polymorphic DNA fingerprinting and whole-cell protein analysis suggested the presence of multiple genomic groups, which was confirmed by DNA–DNA hybridization experiments. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that these isolates were related to the genera , , , , , , and and belonged to the family . Based on the results of the present study the organisms were classified in a novel genus, gen. nov. This genus comprises one named species, sp. nov. (type strain LMG 22250=CCUG 45225) and five currently unnamed genomic species. The DNA G+C content of members of the novel genus is between 54·0 and 57·7 mol%.
