RESUMEN
A novel Vibrio strain (CAIM 722T=SW9T=DSM 24596T) was isolated in 2003 from water of a shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) culture pond located in Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico, and taxonomically characterized using a polyphasic approach. The 16S rRNA gene sequence clustered within those of the genus Vibrio, showing high similarity to the type strains of the Porteresiae clade. Multilocus sequence analysis using eight housekeeping genes (ftsZ, gapA, gyrB, mreB, pyrH, recA, rpoA, topA and 16S rRNA) and phylogenetic analysis with 139 single-copy genes showed that the strain forms an independent branch. Whole genome sequencing and genomic analyses (average nucleotide identity, OrthoANI, average amino acid identity and in silico DNA-DNA hybridization) produced values well below the thresholds for species delineation with all methods tested. In addition, a phenotypic characterization was performed to support the description and differentiation of the novel strain from related taxa. The results obtained demonstrate that the strain represent a novel species, for which the name Vibrio eleionomae sp. nov. is proposed.

Two bacterial strains were isolated from the hepatopancreas of a cultured shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) in Sinaloa, México. Their partial 16S rRNA gene sequences clustered within those of the genus Photobacterium, showing high similarity to the type strains of Photobacterium angustum and Photobacterium leiognathi, were 87.1% and 97.5%, respectively. Multilocus sequence analysis using eight housekeeping genes (ftsZ, gapA, gyrB, mreB, pyrH, recA, rpoA, topA and 16S rRNA) and phylogenetic analysis with 139 single-copy genes showed that the new strains form an independent branch whole genome sequencing and genomic analyses (average nucleotide identity, average amino acid identity, and in silico DNA-DNA hybridization) produced values well below the thresholds for species delineation with all methods tested. In addition, a phenotypic characterization was performed to support the description and differentiation of the novel strains from related taxa. The results obtained demonstrate that the two strains represent a novel species for which the name Photobacterium lucens sp. nov. is proposed.

Resistance to different antibiotics was found in 26 of the 30 strains analyzed, more than 70% of the strains analyzed were resistant to carbenicillin and ampicillin and a significant correlation was found between the resistance to both antibiotics. Plasmids were found in 80% of the strains analyzed, and 11 different plasmid profiles were observed. The most common profile obtained had only a 21.2-kbp plasmid, a significant correlation was found between the presence of this plasmid and resistance to carbenicillin, although some exceptions could be detected. Plasmids were cured from a cephalothin resistant strain and reintroduced into the plasmid-free cell and into Escherichia coli DH5alpha, both strains gained resistance to this antibiotic.
