Strain 49125 was isolated from an infant with pneumonia and septicaemia at the Leipzig University Hospital. Phenotypic and genomic traits were investigated. The strain's biochemical profile and its MALDI-TOF spectrogram did not differ from comparative samples of , thus far the sole member of the species. A circular genome with a size of 4.4 Mbp and a G+C content of 55.0 mol% was reconstructed using hybrid Illumina and Nanopore sequencing. Phylogenetic analysis was based on 172 marker genes and validated using a k-mer-based search against a large genome collection including subsequent DNA-DNA hybridization. Whole genome average nucleotide identity to any described species was below 95%, suggesting that strain 49125 represents a new species, for which we propose the name sp. nov. with the type strain 49125 (=LMG 32245=DSM 112336).

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotypes have distinct geographical distributions and influence severity of clinical outcome and response to antiviral therapies. HBV polymorphism in HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) positive first time blood donors from Poland was examined. HBV serological markers and HBV DNA were tested in 170 samples.
