Noncontiguous finished genome sequence and description of Streptococcus timonensis sp. nov. isolated from the human stomach.

ABSTRACT: Strain Marseille-P2915T, a Gram-positive, facultative anaerobic and nonmotile coccus, was isolated from the gastric lavage of a patient with severe anaemia. The 16S rRNA and rpoB gene comparison exhibited a sequence identity of 98.7 and 92.6% with Streptococcus infantis strain JCM 10157T, respectively, collocating it within the 'Streptococcus mitis' group. On the basis of phenotypic and genomic analysis, we propose the validation of the type strain Streptococcus timonensis sp. nov. Marseille-P2915T (= DSM 103349 = CSUR P2915).
