Polyphasic Characterisation of sp. nov., a New Enteric Bacterium Isolated from the Koala Hindgut.

The genus is comprised of six rarely isolated species within the family. Representatives are Gram-negative motile bacilli, and are typically oxidase-negative, lipase-positive and resistant to colistin and cephalothin. In this study, a putative novel species (designated strain ZA_0188), isolated from the koala hindgut, was characterised using a polyphasic taxonomic approach.
