Description of a new member of the family Erysipelotrichaceae: Dakotella fusiforme gen. nov., sp. nov., isolated from healthy human feces.

ABSTRACT: A Gram-positive, non-motile, rod-shaped facultative anaerobic bacterial strain SG502^T was isolated from healthy human fecal samples in Brookings, SD, USA. The comparison of the 16S rRNA gene placed the strain within the family Erysipelotrichaceae. Within this family, Clostridium innocuum ATCC 14501^T, Longicatena caecimuris strain PG-426-CC-2, Eubacterium dolichum DSM 3991^T and E. tortuosum DSM 3987^T(=ATCC 25548^T) were its closest taxa with 95.28%, 94.17%, 93.25%, and 92.75% 16S rRNA sequence identities respectively. The strain SG502^T placed itself close to C. innocuum in the 16S rRNA phylogeny. The members of genus Clostridium within family Erysipelotrichaceae was propo
