Yersinia hibernica sp. nov., isolated from pig-production environments Nguyen, Scott V. and Muthappa, Dechamma Mundanda and Hurley, Daniel and Donoghue, Orla and McCabe, Evonne and Anes, João and Schaffer, Kirsten and Murphy, Brenda P. and Buckley, Jim F. and Fanning, Séamus,, 69, 2023-2027 (2019), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijsem.0.003422, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= A Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped strain isolated from pig-production environments was identified as a new species within the genus Yersinia using multifaceted genomic and biochemical approaches. The genome of this strain was closed using a hybrid assembly approach combining both high accuracy short read sequencing data with long read sequencing technology. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene showed ~98 % similarity to Yersinia kristensenii and ~98 % similarity to Yersinia enterocolitica . Average nucleotide identity (OrthoANI) values were calculated as 85.79 % to Y. kristensenii ATCC 33638T and 85.73 % to Y. enterocolitica ATCC 9610T thereby providing evidence that this isolate should be considered as a novel species. The type strain is CFS1934T (=NCTC 14222T=LMG 31076T)., language=, type=
