Abstract

A reassessment was undertaken of published characteristics of the five species of anaerobic intestinal spirochaetes in the genus (, , , and ) and the two species in the genus ( and ). Comparisons were made of published descriptions, including phenotypic properties, grouping by multilocus enzyme electrophoresis, DNA base composition, DNA–DNA relative reassociation values and 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity. On the basis of extensive similarities between all the species, it is proposed to reclassify Stanton . 1997 and Stanton . 1997 in the genus , as comb. nov. (type strain ATCC 51140) and comb. nov. (type strain ATCC 51284).
