Abstract

Gram-positive, non-spore-forming rods (strain 4401292) were isolated from a human blood sample. Based on cellular morphology and the results of biochemical tests, this strain was tentatively identified as belonging to an undescribed species of the genus . Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence comparison showed that the bacterium was related closely to (95.1 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), (95.2 %), (95.2 %), (93.3 %) and (91.4 %). The predominant fatty acids were C18 : 19 and C16 : 0. On the basis of phenotypic data and phylogenetic inference, the novel species sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is 4401292 (=CSUR P18=CCUG 53522).
