Cohnella cholangitidis sp. nov., a novel species of the genus Cohnella isolated from a clinical specimen in Korea.

ABSTRACT: A Gram-positive, aerobic, rod-shaped bacterium, designated as strain 1605-214^T, was isolated from the blood sample of a patient with cholangitis. Based on its 16S rRNA gene sequence, the strain 1605-214^T belonged to the genus Cohnella and exhibited 97.9% sequence identity with Cohnella luojiensis DSM 24270^T (GQ214052). DNA-DNA hybridization, digital DNA-DNA hybridization, and average nucleotide identity values between the two species were 23% ± 1.9, 21.1%, and 77.2%, respectively. The cellular fatty acids of strain 1605-214^T were mainly comprised of anteiso-C_15:0 (36.1%), iso-C_16:0 (16.5%), and C_16:0 (15.1%). The predominant quinone was menaquinone-7; predominant polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphati
