Abstract:
The taxonomic positions of two clinically isolated actinomycetes were established using a polyphasic approach. The two strains, IFM 10032 T , isolated from ear discharge of a 28-year-old Japanese female patient with external otitis, and IFM 10148, isolated from pleural fluid of a 60-year-old Japanese male patient with bronchitis, possessed meso -diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic amino acid, MK-9(H 2 ) as the predominant menaquinone and mycolic acids ranging from 58 to 64 carbons. The 16S rRNA gene sequences of the two strains were most closely related to those of Gordonia aichiensis , Gordonia sputi and ‘ Gordonia jacobaea ’. Differences in several phenotypic characteristics together with genotypic distinctiveness distinguish strains IFM 10032 T and IFM 10148 from these three species. DNA–DNA hybridization results and the combination of genotypic and phenotypic data showed that the two strains belong to a single species, and merit recognition of a novel species within the genus Gordonia . The name proposed for this taxon is Gordonia otitidis sp. nov.; the type strain is IFM 10032 T (=DSM 44809 T =JCM 12355 T =NBRC 100426 T ).
