Abstract

A yellow-pigmented rod- to coccoid-shaped coryneform microorganism was isolated from the blood of a patient with acute myeloid leukemia. It was identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing as a previously undescribed species of Janibacter. The isolate was susceptible to penicillins, aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones, and glycopeptides.

Phylogenetic tree of isolate 03-238 of Janibacter sp. and the type strains of related coryneform species based on comparative analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences. For genera other than Janibacter, only type species were included. Sequence alignment and tree construction were with ClustalV and by use of MegAlign, a program of the Lasergene package (DNASTAR). Clusters with bootstrap values above 80% are indicated with thick lines. Other values were below 52%.
