sp. nov., isolated from infected rodents () in Senegal.

species are involved in various human diseases, causing a range of clinical manifestations; animals are considered as the main reservoirs, transmitting diverse species of through direct contact and haematophagous insects. Here, we characterize a new species, sp. nov., within the genus , using a taxonogenomic polyphasic approach. Strain 094 (= CSUR B1097=DSM 28004), isolated from the blood of an infected rodent () in Senegal, is an aerobic and rod-shaped bacterium. The annotated non-contiguous genome sequence is 1 952322 bp long and contains 37.2 mol% G+C content, 1686 protein-coding genes and 50 RNA genes, including seven rRNA genes.
