Ruminococcus gauvreauii sp. nov., a glycopeptide-resistant species isolated from a human faecal specimen Domingo, M.-C. and Huletsky, A. and Boissinot, M. and Bernard, K. A. and Picard, F. J. and Bergeron, M. G.,, 58, 1393-1397 (2008), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.65259-0, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= A novel strictly anaerobic, vancomycin-resistant, Gram-positive coccus (strain CCRI-16110T) was isolated from a human faecal specimen. This strain was characterized using morphological, biochemical and molecular taxonomic methods. The organism was unable to hydrolyse aesculin and failed to produce acid from cellobiose, d-lactose and α-raffinose. Acetic acid was the sole product of glucose fermentation by the organism. On the basis of 16S rRNA and tuf gene sequence comparison, strain CCRI-16110T was most closely related to species of the genus Ruminococcus and formed a hitherto unknown sublineage within the Clostridium coccoides rRNA cluster of organisms (cluster XIVa). Based on phenotypic and phylogenetic evidence, a novel species, Ruminococcus gauvreauii sp. nov., is proposed. The type strain is CCRI-16110T (=NML 060141T =CCUG 54292T =JCM 14987T)., language=, type=
