  • Title: Actinomyces oricola sp. nov., from a human dental abscess.
    Author: Hall V, Collins MD, Hutson RA, Inganäs E, Falsen E, Duerden BI.
    Journal: Int J Syst Evol Microbiol; 2003 Sep; 53(Pt 5):1515-1518. PubMed ID: 13130041.
    Abstract:
    A previously undescribed Actinomyces-like bacterium was isolated from a human dental abscess. Based on its cellular morphology and the results of biochemical testing the organism was tentatively identified as a member of the genus Actinomyces, but it did not correspond to any currently recognized species of this genus. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequencing studies showed the bacterium represents a hitherto unknown subline within the genus Actinomyces, clustering within a group of species, which includes Actinomyces bovis, the type species of the genus. Based on biochemical and molecular phylogenetic evidence, it is proposed that the unknown organism recovered from a dental abscess be classified as a new species, Actinomyces oricola sp. nov. The type strain of Actinomyces oricola is R5292(T) (=CCUG 46090(T)=CIP 107639(T)).
