Megasphaera vaginalis sp. nov. and Anaerococcus vaginimassiliensis sp. nov., new bacteria isolated from vagina of French woman with bacterial vaginosis.

Using the culturomics method, two strains were isolated, identified and characterized following the taxonogenomics concept. Megasphaera vaginalis sp. nov. strain Marseille-P4512 (= CSURP4512) and Anaerococcus vaginimassiliensis sp. nov. strain Marseille-P4857 (= CSURP4857) were isolated from the vagina of a French woman. The phylogenic tree, phenotypic criteria and genomic analysis described here clearly show that these two bacteria are different from previously known bacterial species with standing in nomenclature and new members of Firmicutes phylum.

Enterococcus burkinafasonensis sp. nov. isolated from human gut microbiota.

Strain Marseille-Q0835T is an aerobic, non-motile and non-spore-forming Gram-positive coccus isolated from the stools of a Burkinabe woman. In this report, we present its phenotypic description including MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry analysis and genome sequencing. Strain Marseille-Q0835T; 2.9768-Mb genome exhibited a 41.9 mol% G+C content and 2699 predicted genes. Considering phenotypic features and comparative genome studies, we propose the strain Marseille-Q0835T as the type strain of Enterococcus burkinafasonensis sp. nov., a new species within the family Enterococcaceae.

Parabacteroides bouchesdurhonensis sp. nov., a new bacterium isolated from the stool of a healthy adult.

Parabacteroides bouchesdurhonensis strain Marseille-P3763T (= CSURP3763) is a new species isolated from the stool of a heathy adult.

Urinicoccus massiliensis gen. nov., sp. nov., a new bacterium isolated from a human urine sample from a 7-year-old boy hospitalized for dental care.

Urinicoccus massiliensis strain Marseille-P1992T (= CSURP1992 = DSM100581) is a species of a new genus isolated from human urine.

Clostridium transplantifaecale sp. nov., a new bacterium isolated from patient with recurrent Clostridium difficile infection.

Clostridium transplantifaecale strain Marseille-P8228T (= CSURP8228) is a new species isolated from a patient with recurrent Clostridium difficile infection.
