ABSTRACT
Providencia genus is known to harbor certain opportunistic pathogens capable of causing human infections. Here, we report two strains of multidrug-resistant bacteria initially identified as Providencia rettgeri by mass spectrometry, but genome analysis revealed their ANI (79.84-84.20%) and dDDH (21.1-25.6%) values to fall below the accepted species threshold for known Providencia species. We therefore propose that these isolates be recognized as a novel species, Providencia xianensis sp. nov. Alarmingly, both strains, isolated from locations far apart, exhibited resistance to last-resort antibiotics, indicating their possible wide distribution, underscoring the urgency for immediate attention and enhanced surveillance for this emerging multidrug-resistant pathogen.
