The strains have been characterized by employing discriminatory genome typing, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight MS technique, fatty acid profiling and biochemical tests, thus identifying a new species in the genus . Colonies displayed phenotypic characteristics typical of the family , including a requirement for l-cysteine and testing catalase positive. Fatty acid methyl ester analysis showed that the predominant fatty acids detected in the studied strains are C16:0 iso, C16:1 7, C16:0 and C15:0 anteiso. The obtained MIC values showed antimicrobial susceptibility to the antimicrobial drugs ciprofloxacin and erythromycin (0.8 and 2 µg ml, respectively). The bacteria were also Gram-negative, rod-shaped, grew aerobically on buffered charcoal yeast extract agar and weakly grew on glycine-vancomycin-polymyxin-cycloheximide media at 36 °C with the ability to autofluoresce a blue-white colour when placed under a long-wavelength UV light (365 nm). The whole-genome sequencing performed displayed a G+C content of 38.2 mol%. The digital DNA-DNA hybridization analysis demonstrated a separation from the phylogenetically most related , with 54.7% DNA-DNA relatedness. The identity percentage measured by average nucleotide identity between the PATHC038 strain and its respective closest species, , was 93.9%, also confirming the distinctiveness of the novel species. The 16S rRNA gene, and sequences showed a similarity of 98.7, 98.4 and 96.2%, respectively, with NCTC 11976. Additionally, average amino acid identity and percentage of conserved proteins analyses further supported their classification as a novel species. The results obtained in this study confirm the status of an independent species. The name proposed for this species is sp. nov. with PATHC038 (CCUG 76918T, ATCC TSD-370) as the type strain.
