sp. nov., recovered from a human rectal swab Free

Abstract

Strain WCHPr000369 was recovered from a human rectal swab in China in 2015. Phylogenetic analysis based on its 16S rRNA gene suggested that the strain belonged to the genus . The genome sequence of the strain had a 77.30–90.43% average nucleotide identity (ANI) and 20.9–41.5 % DNA–DNA hybridization (DDH) score with those of type strains of known species. The ANI and DDH values indicated that the strain was likely to belong to a new species. Multi-locus sequence analysis on the , , , and housekeeping genes also revealed that the strain was distinct from any previously described species of the genus . Strain WCHPr000369 could be distinguished from all known species by the combination of positive urease reaction and the ability to utilize citrate. Genotypic and phenotypic characteristics from this study indicated that strain WCHPr000369 should be considered to represent a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is WCHPr000369 (=GDMCC1.1382=KCTC 62577).
