Abstract

The name Enterobacter cowanii sp. nov. is proposed for a group of organisms referred to as NIH Group 42. Members of this species are Gram-negative, motile rods conforming to the definition of the family Enterobacteriaceae. The DNA relatedness of nine strains of NIH Group 42 to the proposed type strain of this species averaged 85% at 70 degrees C, whereas the relatedness to other species within the family Enterobacteriaceae was less than 38%. Because the DNA relatedness (5-38%) is closer to species of the genus Enterobacter than to other species of the family, the members of NIH Group 42 were placed in the genus Enterobacter. The majority of strains of E. cowanii were isolated from clinical specimens. A culture of the type strain (888-76) has been deposited in the Japan Collection of Microorganisms as JCM 10956.

摘要

提议将“考氏肠杆菌新种（Enterobacter cowanii sp. nov.）”这一名称用于一组被称为美国国立卫生研究院42组（NIH Group 42）的微生物。该物种的成员为革兰氏阴性、运动性杆菌，符合肠杆菌科的定义。NIH 42组的9株菌株与该物种提议的模式菌株在70℃时的DNA相关性平均为85%，而与肠杆菌科内其他物种的相关性小于38%。由于DNA相关性（5-38%）与肠杆菌属的物种比与该科的其他物种更接近，所以NIH 42组的成员被归入肠杆菌属。考氏肠杆菌的大多数菌株是从临床标本中分离出来的。模式菌株（888-76）的培养物已作为JCM 10956保藏于日本微生物保藏中心。
