Strains of members of the genus Corynebacterium derived from ophthalmologic patients in Japan, Belgium and Switzerland and found to be closely related to-, but distinguishable from Corynebacterium mastitidis by 16S rRNA gene sequencing, were characterized using biochemical, chemotaxonomic, MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and antimicrobial susceptibility methods and DNA–DNA hybridization as well as by whole-genome sequencing (WGS). Based on this investigation, we describe Corynebacterium lowii sp. nov. and Corynebacterium oculi sp. nov., derived from human ocular specimens, as well as emend the description of Corynebacterium mastitidis . Type strains for these species are: C. lowii R-50085T (=LMG 28276T =CCUG 65815T) and C. oculi R-50187T (=LMG 28277T =CCUG 65816T). DNA G+C content was found to be 62.2 % (by HPLC) and 62.8 % (by WGS) for C. lowii R-50085T, 64.1 % (HPLC) and 64.8 % (WGS) for C. oculi R-50187T and 67.8 % (HPLC) for C. mastitidis LMG 19040T [=S-8T =CCUG 38654T =CECT 4843T =CIP 105509T =DSM 44356T =IFO (NBRC)16160T =JCM 12269T].

Genbank accession numbers derived from this study:16S rRNA gene sequences: KJ938704-KJ938714 (C. lowii R-50085T, KJ938705; C. oculi R-50187T, KJ938709) and rpoB sequences: KJ938692-KJ938702 (C. lowii R-50085T, KJ938693; C. oculi R-50187T, KJ938697). Whole-genome sequences for C. lowii R-50085T and C. oculi R-50187T have been deposited under the Genbank accession numbers LKEV00000000 and LKST00000000, respectively.
Type strains have been deposited under accession numbers: C. lowii LMG 28276T and CCUG 65815T and C. oculi LMG 28277T and CCUG 65816T.
