Amygdalobacter indicium gen. nov., sp. nov., and Amygdalobacter nucleatus sp. nov., gen. nov.: novel bacteria from the family Oscillospiraceae isolated from the female genital tract.

ABSTRACT: Four obligately anaerobic Gram-positive bacteria representing one novel genus and two novel species were isolated from the female genital tract. Both novel species, designated UPII 610-J^T and KA00274^T, and an additional isolate of each species were characterized utilizing biochemical, genotypic and phylogenetic analyses. All strains were non-motile and non-spore forming, asaccharolytic, non-cellulolytic and indole-negative coccobacilli. Fatty acid methyl ester analysis for UPII 610-J^T and KA00274^T and additional isolates revealed C_16 : 0, C_18 : 0, C_18:1ω9c and C_18:2ω6,9c to be the major fatty acids for both species. UPII 610-J^T had a 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 99.4 % to an unculture
