Staphylococcus brunensis sp. nov. isolated from human clinical specimens with a staphylococcal cassette chromosome-related genomic island outside of the rlmH gene bearing the ccrDE recombinase gene complex.

ABSTRACT: Novel species of coagulase-negative staphylococci, which could serve as reservoirs of virulence and antimicrobial resistance factors for opportunistic pathogens from the genus Staphylococcus, are recognized in human and animal specimens due to advances in diagnostic techniques. Here, we used whole-genome sequencing, extensive biotyping, MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, and chemotaxonomy to characterize five coagulase-negative strains from the Staphylococcus haemolyticus phylogenetic clade obtained from human ear swabs, wounds, and bile. Based on the results of polyphasic taxonomy, we propose the species Staphylococcus brunensis sp. nov. (type strain NRL/St 16/872^T = CCM 9024^T = LMG 31872^T = DSM 111349^T).
