sp. nov., a new species of group.

One Gram-stain-positive, non-motile, non-spore-forming, catalase-negative, and coccobacilli-shaped strain, designated c10Ua161M, was isolated from a urine sample from a reproductive-age healthy woman. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain c10Ua161M belonged to the genus . Phylogenetic analysis based on and gene sequences strongly supported a clade encompassing strains c10Ua161M and eight other strains from public databases, distinct from currently recognized species of the genus Average Nucleotide Identity (ANI) and Genome-to-Genome Distance Calculator (GGDC), showed 87.9 and 34.3 % identity to the closest relative , respectively. The major fatty acids of strain c10Ua161M were Cω (65.0%), C (17.8%), and summed feature 8 (10.2 %; comprising Cω7, and/or Cω6). The DNA G+C content of the strains is 34.2 mol%. On the basis of data presented here, strain c10Ua161M represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is c10Ua161M (=CECT 9755=DSM 108704).
