sp. nov., isolated from a cow with infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis Open Access

Abstract

A novel species of the genus was isolated from an ocular swab from a cow with infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis. 16S rRNA gene sequencing suggested this species was (99.59 % nucleotide identity). Average nucleotide identity was calculated using a draft whole genome sequence of this strain compared with type strains of closely related species and results established that it represents a new species. The genome size was 2 006 474 nucleotides and the G+C content was 42.51 mol%. The species could not be identified by matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization–time of flight mass spectrometry using a commercial database, confirming the novelty of the strain. We propose the name sp. nov. for this new species. The type strain is Tifton1 and has been deposited into the American Type Culture Collection (TSD-373) and the National Collection of Type Cultures (NCTC), UK Health Security Agency (NCTC 14942).
