Analysis of the G+C content, DNA-DNA relatedness to other leptospires and 16S rRNA gene sequence of Leptospira parva showed that this species was not related to other Leptospira species. On the basis of these data, it is proposed that Leptospira parva should be transferred to the genus Turneriella as Turneriella parva gen. nov., comb. nov., with strain H(T) (=NCTC 11395(T)=ATCC BAA-1111(T)) as the type strain.
对细小钩端螺旋体的G+C含量、与其他钩端螺旋体的DNA-DNA相关性以及16S rRNA基因序列进行分析,结果表明该物种与其他钩端螺旋体物种无关。基于这些数据,建议将细小钩端螺旋体转移至Turneriella属,命名为Turneriella parva gen. nov., comb. nov.,以菌株H(T)(=NCTC 11395(T)=ATCC BAA-1111(T))作为模式菌株。
