Paracoccus yeeii sp. nov. (formerly CDC group EO-2), a novel bacterial species associated with human infection.

ABSTRACT: CDC eugonic oxidizer group 2 (EO-2) is a group of unclassified gram-negative bacterial strains isolated from various human sources. As determined by biochemical tests and analyses of fatty acid compositions, these organisms form a homogeneous group that appears to be distinct from but related to other Paracoccus species. Molecular studies were performed on a set of 13 EO-2 strains from various clinical sources and geographic locations in the United States and Canada to determine their relationship to the Paracoccus genus. Control strains were Paracoccus denitrificans ATCC 17741(T), P. versutus ATCC 25364(T), P. aminophilus ATCC 49673(T), P. solventivorans ATCC 700252(T), and Psychrobacter immobilis ATCC 43116(T), which are phenotypically similar to EO-2.
