Treponema peruense sp. nov., a commensal spirochaete isolated from human faeces

A Gram-stain-negative, obligatory anaerobic spirochaete (RCC2812 ) was isolated from a faecal sample obtained from an individual residing in a remote Amazonian community in Peru. The bacterium showed highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to the pig intestinal spirochete (89.48 %). Average nucleo...

Zusammenfassung:A Gram-stain-negative, obligatory anaerobic spirochaete (RCC2812 ) was isolated from a faecal sample obtained from an individual residing in a remote Amazonian community in Peru. The bacterium showed highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to the pig intestinal spirochete (89.48 %). Average nucleotide identity values between strain RCC2812 and all available genomes from validated type strains were all
