sp. nov. isolated from a dog Free

Abstract

From a phlegmon in a dog an aerobic and facultatively anaerobic, indole-, oxidase- and catalase-negative, non-motile bacterium was isolated in 2019 in Germany that stained Gram-negative and showed a pleomorphic, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming appearance. Based on the results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses, strain IHIT1603-19 was assigned to the genus with sequence similarities of 98.6, 98.0, 97.9, 97.1 and 94.4 % to the type strains of , , , and , respectively. Strain IHIT1603-19 could also clearly be differentiated from other species by , and gene, nucleotide and amino acid sequence analyses as well as by core genome phylogeny. Regarding DNA–DNA relatedness, strain IHIT1603-19 demonstrated an average nucleotide identity of 83.00 and 82.28 % compared to 131000547 and DSM 12112, respectively. Chemotaxonomic and physiological data of strain IHIT1603-19 were in congruence with other closely related members of the family , represented by highly similar enzyme profiles and fatty acid patterns. MALDI-TOF MS analysis also proved suitable in unequivocally discriminating strain IHIT1603-19 from all currently described taxa of the genus . On the basis of these data, we propose the novel species sp. nov. with the type strain IHIT1603-19 (=DSM 110501=CCUG 74118=CIP 111795). The G+C content of the DNA of the type strain is 26.6 mol%, genome size is 1.60 Mbp.
