Abstract
Numbers of new and revised microbial taxa are continuously expanding, and the rapid accumulation of novel bacterial species is challenging to keep up with in the best of circumstances. With that in mind, following the template of reports on prokaryotic species isolated from humans, this is now the second publication summarizing new and revised taxa in non-domestic animal species in the Journal of Clinical Microbiology. The majority of new taxa were obtained as part of programs to identify bacteria from mucosal surfaces and the gastrointestinal tract from healthy wildlife. A few notable bacteria included new Erysipelothrix spp. from mammalian and aquatic sources and a novel Bartonella spp. isolated from a rodent, both of which could be considered members of emerging and re-emerging genera with pathogenic potential in humans and animals.

Genotypic characterization of Streptococcus didelphis causative of fatal infection in white-eared opossums. Lett Appl Microbiol 2023; 76:ovad131.

Abstract
Streptococcus didelphis was once reported as related to severe infections in opossums. Thus, we present the first comprehensive whole-genome characterization of clinical S. didelphis strains isolated from white-eared opossums (Didelphis albiventris). Long-read whole-genome sequencing was performed using the MinION platform, which allowed the prediction of several genomic features. We observed that S. didelphis genomes harbor a cluster for streptolysin biosynthesis and a conserved genomic island with genes involved in transcriptional regulation (arlR) and transmembrane transport (bcrA). Antimicrobial resistance genes for several drug classes were found, including beta-lactam, which is the main antimicrobial class used in Streptococcus spp. infections; however, no phenotypical resistance was observed. In addition, we predicted the presence of 33 virulence factors in the analyzed genomes. High phylogenetic similarity was observed between clinical and reference strains, yet no clonality was suggested. We also proposed dnaN, gki, pros, and xpt as housekeeping candidates to be used in S. didelphis sequence typing. This is the first whole-genome characterization of S. didelphis, whose data provide important insights into its pathogenicity.

[PMID: 33387140 PMCID: PMC7878260 DOI: 10.1007/s10482-020-01505-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2020] [Accepted: 11/25/2020] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
Using the culturomics approach, we isolated a new Streptococcus species, strain C17T, from the oropharynx mucosa sample of a healthy 5-year-old child living in Shenyang, China. We studied the phenotypic, phylogenetic, and genomic characteristics of strain C17T, which was identified as a Gram-positive, coccus-shaped, non-motile, aerobic, catalase-negative bacteria. Its growth temperatures ranged from 20 to 42 °C, with optimal growth at 37 °C. Acid production could be inhibited by two sugars, trehalose and raffinose. In C17T, the reactions for enzyme lipase (C14) were confirmed to be negative, whereas those for alkaline phosphatase, α-glucosidase, and hippuric acid hydrolysis were positive. The C17T genome contained 2,189,419 base pairs (bp), with an average G+C content of 39.95%, encoding 2092 genes in total. The 16S ribosomal RNA sequence showed 99.8% similarity with the newly identified Streptococcus pseudopneumoniae ATCC BAA-960T. The main fatty acid components in C17T were C16:0, C18:1 w7c, C18:0, and C18:1 w9c, all of which can be found in other species of the Streptococcus genus. Strain C17T showed high susceptibility to clindamycin, linezolid, vancomycin, chloramphenicol, and cefepime, and moderate susceptibility to erythromycin. The obtained dDDH value between strain C17T and the closest species was 52.9%. In addition, the whole genome sequence of strain C17T had an 82.21–93.40% average nucleotide identity (ANI) with those strains of closely related Streptococcus species, indicating that the strain C17T was unique among all Streptococcus species. Based on these characteristics, we determine that C17T is a novel species, named Streptococcus symci sp. nov. (= GDMCC 1.1633 = JCM 33582).

Abstract
Two previously undescribed, Gram-stain-positive, rod-shaped strains, 410T and 553, were isolated from faeces of the Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii) from the Tibet-Qinghai Plateau, PR China. The optimum growth conditions of the two novel strains were 1 % (w/v) NaCl, 37 °C and pH 7. The end products from glucose fermentation included ethanol and lactic acid. Based on results of 16S rRNA gene sequence comparison and phylogenetic and phylogenomic analyses, strains 410T and 553 were classified into the genus Actinomyces, and were closely related to Actinomyces ruminicola (97.6 %), Actinomyces oricola (93.5 %) and Actinomyces dentalis (90.8 %). The genomic G+C content of strain 410T was 67.4 mol%. Digital DNA-DNA hybridization values between strain 410T and each of the closely related species were under 70 %. The respiratory quinones were MK-10 (68 %) and MK-9 (32 %). The main cellular fatty acids of the isolates were C16 : 0, followed by C18 : 1 ω9c. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylinositol-mannoside. The whole-cell sugars contained rhamnose, ribose and glucose. The diagnostic amino acids of cell-wall peptidoglycan included alanine, glutamic acid, lysine and ornithine. The results of biochemical, chemotaxonomic and genotypic analyses revealed that the two novel strains represent a novel species of genus Actinomyces, for which the name Actinomyces qiguomingii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 410T (=CGMCC 1.16361T= DSM 106201T).

Abstract
Three Gram-stain-positive, catalase-negative, α-haemolytic, chain-forming and coccus-shaped microorganisms (strains Z15T, Z1 and Z2) were isolated from feces of Tibetan antelopes collected from the Qinghai-Tibet plateau, PR China. The results of 16S rRNA gene sequence studies indicated that Z15T shared 94.5, 93.1 and 92.2 % similarity with Streptococcus pantholopis DSM 102135T, Streptococcus ursoris NUM 1615T and Streptococcus dentapri NUM 1529T, respectively. rpoB and groEL-based sequence analysis of our three novel isolates revealed interspecies divergence of 16.7 and 14.3 % from Streptococcus pantholopis DSM 102135T. The genomic DNA G+C content of Z15T is 42.48 mol%. Z15T has an average nucleotide identity (ANI) value of 81.19 % with S. pantholopis DSM 102135T and a DNA-DNA relatedness value of less than 70 % in the in-silico DNA-DNA hybridization (isDDH) with other species of genus Streptococcus deposited in the GenBank database. A whole-genome phylogenetic tree based on 246 core genes of 78 genomes of members of the genus Streptococcusindicated that Z15T represents a member of genus Streptococcus but one well separated from the currently recognized species. Z15T contains C18 : 1ω7c (25.5 %), C18 : 1ω9c (19.6 %), C16 : 0 (17.5 %) and C16 : 1ω9c (13.3 %) as its major cellular fatty acids. According to the morphological, biochemical and molecular phylogenetic features of the three novel isolates, they represent a novel species of the genus Streptococcus, and Streptococcus chenjunshii sp. nov. is thus proposed. The type strain is Z15T (=CGMCC 1.16529=DSM 106182).

Abstract
Two bacterial strains were individually isolated from Marmota himalayana respiratory tracts; the animals were from the Tibet-Qinghai Plateau, PR China. The isolates were Gram-stain-positive, catalase-negative, coccus-shaped, chain-forming organisms. Analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the type strain HTS25T shared 98.0, 97.4, 97.2 and 97.1 % similarity with Streptococcus cuniculi, Streptococcus acidominimus, Streptococcus marmotae and Streptococcus himalayensis respectively. Sequence analysis of the sodA and rpoB genes indicated that HTS25T was closely related to S. marmotae (similarities of 94.7 and 91.4 % respectively). Analysis of groEL sequences showed interspecies similarity of 84.8 % between HTS25T and S. himalayensis. A whole-genome phylogenetic tree reconstructed from 81 core genes from the genomes of 17 members of the genus Streptococcus was used to validate that HTS25T forms a distinct subline from other recognized species of the genus Streptococcus. DNA-DNA hybridization of HTS25T showed a maximum estimated DNA reassociation value of 32.1 % to Streptococcus cuniculi CCUG 65085T. On the basis of the results of phenotypic and phylogenetic analyses, we propose that the two isolates be classified as representing a novel species of the genus Streptococcus, named Streptococcus respiraculi sp. nov. The type strain is HTS25T (=DSM 101998T=CGMCC 1.15531T). The genome of Streptococcus respiraculi sp. nov. strain HTS25T (2 067 971 bp) contains 2001 genes with an average DNA G+C content of 42.7 mol%.

Abstract
Five strains of Gram-positive-staining, catalase-negative, coccus-shaped, chain-forming organisms isolated separately from the respiratory tracts of five Marmota himalayana animals in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau of China were subjected to phenotypic and molecular taxonomic analyses. Comparative analysis of the 16S rRNA gene indicated that these singular organisms represent a new member of the genus Streptococcus, being phylogenetically closest to Streptococcus marmotae DSM 101995T (98.4 % similarity). The groEL, sodA and rpoB sequence analysis showed interspecies similarity values between HTS2T and Streptococcus. marmotae DSM 101995T, its closest phylogenetic relative based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, of 98.2, 78.8 and 93.7 %, respectively. A whole-genome phylogenetic tree built from 82 core genes of genomes from 16 species of the genus Streptococcus validated that HTS2T forms a distinct subline and exhibits specific phylogenetic affinity with S. marmotae. In silico DNA-DNA hybridization of HTS2T showed an estimated DNA reassociation value of 40.5 % with Streptococcus. marmotae DSM 101995T. On the basis of their phenotypic characteristics and phylogenetic findings, it is proposed that the five isolates be classified as representatives of a novel species of the genus Streptococcus, Streptococcus himalayensis sp. nov. The type strain is HTS2T (=DSM 101997T=CGMCC 1.15533T). The genome of Streptococcus himalayensis sp. nov. strain HTS2T contains 2195 genes with a size of 2 275 471 bp and a mean DNA G+C content of 41.3 mol%.

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).

Abstract
Five strains of a Gram-stain-positive, catalase-negative, α-haemolytic, coccus-shaped chain-forming organism were isolated separately from the lower respiratory tracts of five animals of Marmota himalayana in the endemic area of plague, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China. Based on their morphological characteristics, biochemical features and molecular phylogenetic studies, the strains were placed as representing a new member of the genus Streptococcus. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence studies indicated that strain HTS5T shared 96.5, 96.2 and 96.0 % similarity with Streptococcus gallinaceus CCUG 42692T, Streptococcus parasanguinis ATCC 15912T and Streptococcus suis ATCC 43765T, respectively. Sequence analysis of its rpoB and sodA genes showed that strain HTS5T was most closely related to Streptococcus cuniculi CCUG 65085T with 9.2 and 10.9 % interspecies divergence, respectively. The whole genome phylogenetic tree based on 339 core genes of 65 Streptococcus genomes confirmed that HTS5T belongs to a distinct lineage that is well separated from recognized species of the genus Streptococcus. In silico DNA-DNA hybridization using 65 available genomes from GenBank showed that HTS5T displayed less than 70 % DNA-DNA relatedness with the other 65 species of the genus Streptococcus deposited in the GenBank database. The genome of strain HTS5T (2 322 791 bp) contained 2377 genes and had a G+C content of 41.6 mol%. Therefore, the five strains are considered to represent a novel species of the genus Streptococcus for which the name Streptococcusmarmotae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is HTS5T (=DSM 101995T=CGMCC 1.15534T).

Abstract
Two Gramstaining-positive, catalase-negative, α-hemolytic, coccus-shaped organisms were isolated separately from the respiratory tracts of two Marmota himalayana animals from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, PR China. Morphological, biological, biochemical, and molecular genetic studies were performed on these two isolates (HTS9T and HTS12). Their biochemical characteristics, such as acid production from different sugars and enzymatic activities, indicated that they represented a member of the genus Streptococcus. They are most closely related to Streptococcus thoraltensis CIP 105518T based on sequence analysis of their 16S rRNA, groEL, sodA and rpoB genes, with similarities of 97.6, 89.9, 92.6 and 91.1 % the four genes respectively. The whole genome phylogenetic tree reconstructed using 372 core genes from 65 genomes of members of the genus Streptococcus validates that HTS9T forms a distinct subline and exhibits specific phylogenetic affinity with S. thoraltensis. In silico DNA-DNA hybridization of HTS9T showed a DNA reassociation value of 32.1 %, closest to that of S. thoraltensis CIP 105518T. Based on their phenotypic characteristics and in particular the phylogenetic findings (DNA-DNA hybridization, three phylogenetic trees built from the partial 16S rRNA/housekeeping genes, and from 372 core genes of 65 genomes of members of the genus Streptococcus), we propose with confidence that strains HTS9T and HTS12 should be classified as representing a novel species of the genus Streptococcus, Streptococcus halotolerans sp. nov. The type strain is HTS9T (=DSM 101996T=CGMCC1.15532T). Genome analysis of Streptococcus halotolerans sp. nov. shows that its genome is 1 823 556 bp long with a DNA G+C content of 39.9 mol% and contains 2068 genes.

Abstract
Two bacterial strains were isolated from faecal samples of Tibetan antelopes. The isolates were Gram-stain-positive, catalase-negative, coccus-shaped organisms that were tentatively identified as representing a novel streptococcal species based on their morphological features, biochemical test results and phylogenomic findings. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequencing studies confirmed that the organisms were members of the genus Streptococcus, but they did not correspond to any recognized species of the genus. The nearest phylogenetic relative of the unknown coccus was Streptococcus ursoris NUM 1615T (93.4 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity). Analysis of groEL and rpoB gene sequences of the novel isolates showed interspecies divergence of 27.0 and 22.2 %, respectively, from the type strain of its closest 16S rRNA gene phylogenetic relative, S. ursoris. The complete genome of strain TA 26T has been sequenced. Digital DNA-DNA hybridization studies between strain TA 26T and other species of the genus Streptococcus deposited in the GenBank database showed less than 70 % DNA-DNA relatedness, supporting a novel species status of the strain. On the basis of their genotypic and phenotypic differences from recognized Streptococcus species, the two isolates represent a novel species of the genus Streptococcus, for which the nameStreptococcus pantholopis sp. nov. (type strain TA 26T=CGMCC 1.15667T=DSM 102135T) is proposed.
