Ralstonia respiraculi sp. nov., isolated from the respiratory tract of cystic fibrosis patients Coenye, Tom and Vandamme, Peter and LiPuma, John J.,, 53, 1339-1342 (2003), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.02440-0, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= Five isolates recovered from the respiratory tract of cystic fibrosis patients were included in a polyphasic taxonomic study that employed 16S rDNA sequence analysis, cellular protein and fatty acid analysis and biochemical characterization. Four isolates were classified as a novel Ralstonia species, for which the name Ralstonia respiraculi sp. nov. is proposed; the other isolate was phylogenetically closely related to R. respiraculi, but is likely to represent another novel Ralstonia species. The type strain of R. respiraculi is AU3313T (=LMG 21510T=CCUG 46809T)., language=, type=
