The partial 16S rRNA sequence of an unknown bacterium that was originally isolated from middle ear fluids of children with persistent otitis media was determined by reverse transcription. A comparison of this sequence with sequences from other gram-positive species having low guanine-plus-cytosine contents revealed that this bacterium represents a new line of descent, for which the name Alloiococcus otitis gen. nov., sp. nov., is proposed. The type strain is strain NCFB 2890.
通过逆转录确定了一种最初从患有持续性中耳炎的儿童中耳液中分离出的未知细菌的部分16S rRNA序列。将该序列与来自其他鸟嘌呤加胞嘧啶含量低的革兰氏阳性菌的序列进行比较后发现，这种细菌代表了一个新的谱系，为此提出了新属名Alloiococcus otitis（耳异球菌属），新种名Alloiococcus otitis（耳异球菌）。模式菌株为NCFB 2890菌株。
