Abstract
Three strains of a hitherto unknown, Gram-negative, anaerobic coccus were isolated from human samples. At the phenotypic level, the isolates displayed all the characteristics of bacteria belonging to the genusVeillonella. Sequence analysis revealed that the three strains shared >99·5 % similarity in 16S rDNA sequence and >98·4 % similarity indnaKsequence. The three unknown strains formed a separate subclade that was clearly remote fromVeillonellaspecies of human and animal origin. Based on these results, the three strains were considered to represent a novel species within the genusVeillonella, for which the nameVeillonella montpellierensisis proposed. The type strain of the species is ADV 281.99T(=CIP 107992T=CCUG 48299T).Keywords
