Abstract

Ten strains recognized on the basis of a computer-assisted numerical comparison of whole-cell protein patterns as members of a novel species belonging to the family were examined by using an integrated phenotypic and genotypic approach. This species, for which we propose the name sp. nov., was more closely related to the type species of the genus (Bordetella pertussis) than to the type species of the genus () and had the general characteristics of members of this family (i.e., a DNA base ratio in the range from 57 to 70 mol%, a fatty acid profile characterized by high percentages of 16:0, 17:0 cyclo, and 14:0 30H, nonsaccharolytic metabolism, and several classical biochemical characteristics, including aerobic and microaerobic growth, catalase activity, assimilation of citrate, an absence of anaerobic growth, and an absence of acetylmethylcarbinol and indole production, gelatin liquefaction, and esculin hydrolysis). A reevaluation of the criteria used to classify Rüger and Tan 1983 and Yabuuchi and Ohyama 1971 as subspecies of and additional evidence provided in recent studies revealed that, consistent with present standards, it is appropriate to consider these two taxa distinct species of the genus
