sp. nov. and sp. nov., isolated from grey short-tailed opossums () with endemic cloacal prolapses Free

Abstract

In a search for potential causes of increased prolapse incidence in grey short-tailed opossum colonies, samples from the gastrointestinal tracts of 94 clinically normal opossums with rectal prolapses were screened for species by culture and PCR. Forty strains of two novel species which differed from the established taxa were isolated from opossums with and without prolapses. One of the species was spiral-shaped and urease-negative whereas the other strain had fusiform morphology with periplasmic fibres and was urease-positive. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that all the isolates had over 99 % sequence identity with each other, and were most closely related to . Strains from the two novel species were subjected to and gene and whole genome sequence analyses. These two novel species formed separate phylogenetic clades, divergent from other known species. The bacteria were confirmed as novel species based on digital DNA–DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity analysis of their genomes, for which we propose the names sp. nov. with the type strain MIT 15-1451 (=LMG 29780=NCTC 14189) and sp. nov with type strain MIT 17-337 (=LMG 31024=NCTC 14188)
