Avrilella dinanensis gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel bacterium of the family Flavobacteriaceae isolated from human blood.

Polyphasic taxonomic analysis was performed on a novel bacterium, designated UR159, isolated in 2016 from human blood of a septic patient hospitalized in France. Preliminary 16S rRNA gene sequence-based phylogenetic analysis indicated that strain UR159 belonged to the family Flavobacteriaceae, forming a distinct phyletic line distantly related (<94% sequence similarity) to known species of the family. Further phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and genomic analyses were performed.
