A strain of a previously undescribed non-lipophilic coryneform bacterium was isolated from pleural fluids of a patient with chronic renal failure, stroke and pneumonia. Slow fermentative acid production from glucose, maltose and sucrose, and strong N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase activity were the most characteristic features of the bacterium. Chemotaxonomic characterization unambiguously indicated that the organism belonged to the genus Corynebacterium. The results of comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that the isolate represented a new species within the genus, for which the name Corynebacterium thomssenii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is DSM 44276.
从一名患有慢性肾衰竭、中风和肺炎的患者的胸腔积液中分离出一株先前未描述的非嗜脂性棒状杆菌。该细菌最典型的特征是从葡萄糖、麦芽糖和蔗糖缓慢发酵产酸，以及具有较强的N-乙酰-β-葡萄糖苷酶活性。化学分类学特征明确表明该微生物属于棒状杆菌属。比较16S rRNA基因序列分析结果显示，该分离株代表了该属内的一个新物种，为此提议将其命名为汤姆森棒状杆菌（Corynebacterium thomssenii sp. nov.）。模式菌株为DSM 44276。
