gen. nov., sp. nov., sp. nov. and gen. nov., sp. nov., novel taxa assignable to the family and derived from human clinical samples Free

Abstract

Nine Gram-stain-positive cocci, coccobacilli or short, rod-shaped strains recovered from clinical sources from patients located in two Canadian provinces and one environmental source were extensively studied. Clinical sources included blood cultures, cerebral spinal fluid, lymph node, lung biopsy and peritoneal fluid. Through 16S rRNA gene and whole genome sequencing analyses, the strains were found to cluster into three groups, closest to but distinguished from other genera in the family . The genomes from these bacteria had high G+C content, ranging from 67.8–69.56 mol%, and genome sizes of 3.02–4.52 Mb. Biochemical and chemotaxonomic properties including branched-chain cellular fatty acids, -lysine diaminopimelic acid (-DAP) and cell-wall type A3γ (-DAP-gly) containing -DAP, alanine, glycine and glutamic acid were found and so the strains were therefore deemed to be consistent with other new genera in this family. Based on this investigation, we propose gen. nov., sp. nov., sp. nov. and gen. nov., sp. nov. for these taxa. Misidentified taxon ‘’ was found to be assignable to based on this study.
