Genome-Based Taxonomy of Brevundimonas with Reporting Brevundimonas huaxiensis sp. nov.

ABSTRACT: Brevundimonas is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria widely distributed in nature and is also an opportunistic pathogen causing health care-associated infections. Brevundimonas strain 090558^T was recovered from a blood culture of a cancer patient and was subjected to genome sequencing and analysis. The average nucleotide identity and in silico DNA-DNA hybridization values between 090558^T and type strains of Brevundimonas species were 78.76% to 93.94% and 19.8% to 53.9%, respectively, below the cutoff to define bacterial species. Detailed phenotypic tests were performed, suggesting that 090558^T can be differentiated from other Brevundimonas species by its ability to assimilate sodium acetate but not to utilize glucose, trypsi
