Abstract

Two strains of bacteria isolated from the blood of French domestic cows were found to be similar to species on the basis of phenotypic characteristics. Genotypic analysis based on sequence comparison of the 16S rRNA and citrate synthase () genes and on DNA–DNA hybridization showed that the two isolates represent a distinct and new species of . Moreover, the phylogenetic analysis inferred from comparison of 16S rRNA and sequences demonstrated that the new species is related to other ruminant-derived species. The name is proposed for the new species. The type strain of sp. nov. is A828 (=CIP 107869=CCUG47497).
