Abstract

Strain 28462, which had Gram-stain-positive, catalase-negative coccus-shaped cells, was isolated from a routine tracheal sample from a 3 year old thoroughbred horse. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed it to be most closely related to, but distinct from, (95.7 % identity) (95.8 %), (96.4 %) and (95.1 %). Similarity values derived from sequences from and genes were consistent with strain 28462 belonging to a species distinct from these four streptococci. At the whole genome level, strain 28462 had an average nucleotide identity value <95 % and an inferred DNA–DNA hybridization value <70 % when compared to , and with no genome sequence being available. Finally, various phenotypic characteristics distinguish strain 28462 from each of these species. Based on the genotypic and phenotypic results, it is proposed that strain 28462 is a novel species, with the name sp. nov. The type strain is 28462 (=DSM 107591=CCUG 72762).
