Arcanobacterium ihumii sp. nov., Varibaculum vaginae sp. nov. and Tessaracoccus timonensis sp. nov., isolated from vaginal swabs from healthy Senegalese women.

ABSTRACT: Culturomics studies the microbial variety of the human microbiome by combining diversified culture conditions, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry and 16S rRNA gene identification. This study identifies three putative new bacterial species: Arcanobacterium ihumii sp. nov. strain Marseille-P5647^T, Varibaculum vaginae sp. nov. strain Marseille-P5644^T and Tessaracoccus timonensis sp. nov. strain Marseille-P5995^T, which we describe according to the concept of taxonogenomics.
