Phylogenetic Analysis of Alloiococcus otitis gen. nov., sp. nov., an Organism from Human Middle Ear Fluid Aguirre, M. and Collins, M. D.,, 42, 79-83 (1992), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/00207713-42-1-79, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= The partial 16S rRNA sequence of an unknown bacterium that was originally isolated from middle ear fluids of children with persistent otitis media was determined by reverse transcription. A comparison of this sequence with sequences from other gram-positive species having low guanine-plus-cytosine contents revealed that this bacterium represents a new line of descent, for which the name Alloiococcus otitis gen. nov., sp. nov., is proposed. The type strain is strain NCFB 2890., language=, type=
