  • Title: Actinomyces nasicola sp. nov., isolated from a human nose.
    Author: Hall V, Collins MD, Lawson PA, Falsen E, Duerden BI.
    Journal: Int J Syst Evol Microbiol; 2003 Sep; 53(Pt 5):1445-1448. PubMed ID: 13130031.
    Abstract:
    A previously undescribed facultatively anaerobic, catalase-negative, Actinomyces-like bacterium was isolated from the nose of a human. On the basis of its cellular morphology and the results of biochemical testing, the micro-organism was tentatively identified as a member of the genus Actinomyces, but it did not correspond to any currently recognized species. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequencing studies showed the bacterium to be a hitherto unknown subline within the genus Actinomyces, displaying sequence divergence values of more than 6 % with respect to recognized species of the genus. On the basis of biochemical, molecular chemical and molecular phylogenetic evidence, it is proposed that the unknown organism, strain R2014(T) (=CCUG 46092(T)=CIP 107668(T)), be classified as the type strain of a novel species, Actinomyces nasicola sp. nov.
