A Gram-stain-positive, obligately anaerobic, short rod, designated strain HHRM1715(T), was isolated from the blood of a patient with Fournier's gangrene, complicated by sepsis. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain HHRM1715(T) was shown to belong to the genus Atopobium and was most closely related to Atopobium minutum (95 % similarity). The results of 16S rRNA-gene-based phylogenetic analysis, cellular fatty acid analysis and differential biochemical tests, showed that strain HHRM1715(T) represented a novel species of the genus Atopobium. We therefore describe Atopobium deltae sp. nov. with HHRM1715(T) ( = LMG 27987(T) = CCUG 65171(T)) as the type strain and propose an emended description of the genus Atopobium with regard to the DNA G+C content.
一株革兰氏阳性、专性厌氧、短杆状的菌株 HHRM1715(T)，从患有复杂性坏死性筋膜炎并伴有败血症的患者血液中分离得到。基于 16S rRNA 基因序列分析，菌株 HHRM1715(T)属于阿托波氏菌属，与阿托波氏菌（Atopobium minutum）（相似度为 95%）最为接近。16S rRNA 基因系统发育分析、细胞脂肪酸分析和差异生化试验的结果表明，菌株 HHRM1715(T)代表了阿托波氏菌属的一个新种。因此，我们描述了阿托波氏菌属的一个新种，即德尔塔阿托波氏菌（Atopobium deltae）sp. nov.，其模式菌株为 HHRM1715(T)（=LMG 27987(T)=CCUG 65171(T))，并对阿托波氏菌属的 DNA G+C 含量进行了修正描述。
