- Clinical and environmental-associated strains (n=17), genotypically related to Corynebacterium spp., yet distinct from any species of the genus Corynebacterium with validly published names, have been isolated during the last 20 years and tentatively identified as Corynebacterium sanguinis, although the combination, "Corynebacterium sanguinis" was never validly published. The comprehensive genotypic and phenotypic characterisations and genomic analyses in this study support the proposal for recognizing the species within the genus Corynebacterium, for which the name, Corynebacterium sanguinis sp. nov., is reaffirmed and proposed. Strains of Corynebacterium sanguinis are Gram-positive, non-motile, non-spore-forming, short, pleomorphic and coryneform bacilli, growing aerobically, with CO2. They contain mycolic acids, major respiratory menaquinones, MK-8 (II-H2) and MK-9 (II-H2), and polar lipids, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, phosphoglycolipid, glycolipids and a novel lipid that remains to be characterized and identified. Strains of Corynebacterium sanguinis are genotypically most similar to Corynebacterium lipophiliflavum, with 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities of 98.3% and rpoB sequence similarities of 94.9-95.2%. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) analysis were able to clearly differentiate Corynebacterium sanguinis from the most closely related species. The genome size of Corynebacterium sanguinis is 2.28-2.37Mbp with 65.1-65.5mol% G+C content. A total of 2202-2318 ORFs were predicted, comprising 2141-2251 protein-encoding genes. The type strain is CCUG 58655T (=CCM 8873T=NCTC 14287T).

- A Gram- negative rod with a single polar flagellum was isolated from a freshwater reservoir used for household purposes in Boane District, near Maputo, Mozambique, and designated as strain DB1T. Growth was observed at 30???42 ??C (optimum, 30???37 ??C) and with 0.5???1.5 % NaCl. Whole- genome-, rpoD- and 16S rRNA- based phylogenies revealed this isolate to be distant from other Pseudomonas species with Pseudomonas resinovorans, Pseudomonas furukawaii and Pseudomonas lalkuanensis being the closest relatives. Phenotypic analyses of strain DB1T showed marked differences with respect to type strains P. resinovorans CCUG 2473T, P. lalkuanensis CCUG 73691T, P. furukawaii CCUG 75672T and Pseudomonas otiditis CCUG 55592T. Taken together, our results indicate that strain DB1T is a representative of a novel species within the genus Pseudomonas for which the name Pseudomonas boanensis is proposed. The type strain is DB1T (=CCUG 62977T=CECT 30359T).

- Staphylococcus aureus colonizes the anterior nares, and also the gut, particularly in infants. S. aureus is divided into lineages, termed clonal complexes (CCs), which comprise closely related sequence types (STs). While CC30 and CC45 predominate among nasal commensals, their prevalence among gut-colonizing S. aureus is unknown. Here, 67 gut commensal S. aureus strains from 49 healthy Swedish infants (aged 3 days to 12 months) were subjected to multi-locus sequence typing. The STs of these strains were related to their virulence gene profiles, time of persistence in the microbiota, and fecal population counts. Three STs predominated: ST45 (22% of the strains); ST15 (21%); and ST30 (18%). In a logistic regression, ST45 strains showed higher fecal population counts than the others, independent of virulence gene carriage. The lower fecal counts of ST15 were linked to the carriage of fib genes (encoding fibrinogen-binding proteins), while those of ST30 were linked to fib and sea (enterotoxin A) carriage. While only 11% of the ST15 and ST30 strains were acquired after 2 months of age, this was true of 53% of the ST45 strains (p = 0.008), indicating that the former may be less fit for establishment in a more mature microbiota. None of the ST45 strains was transient (persisting < 3 weeks), and persistent ST45 strains colonized for significantly longer periods than persistent strains of other STs (mean, 34 vs 22 weeks, p = 0.04). Our results suggest that ST45 strains are well-adapted for commensal gut colonization in infants, reflecting yet-unidentified traits of these strains.
