Genome sequence and description of Blautia brookingsii SG772 sp. nov., a novel bacterial species isolated from human faeces

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: An anaerobic isolate SG772 belonging to the genus Blautia was isolated from a healthy human faecal sample. When compared using 16s rRNA sequence identity, SG772 showed only 94.46% similarity with its neighbour species Blautia stercoris. As strain SG772 showed both phenotypic and genomic differences from other members of the type species within the genus Blautia, we propose the designation of SG772 as novel species ‘Blautia brookingsii SG772T’.
