Cloacibacillus sp., a Potential Human Pathogen Associated with Bacteremia in Quebec and New Brunswick

M-C Domingo et al. J Clin Microbiol. 2015 Oct.

Abstract

Bacteremia due to Cloacibacillus species is poorly described. We present three cases involving either Cloacibacillus evryensis or Cloacibacillus porcorum. The isolates were identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing and were susceptible to antibiotics commonly used for anaerobic infections. The clinical significance of these organisms as potential emerging pathogens is discussed.

Neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree based on a comparison of partial 16S rRNA gene sequences (1,136 nucleotides) showing the relationships among strains LSPQ-04215, LSPQ-04216, and LSPQ-04226 and related taxa within the Cloacibacillus genus and other members of the Synergistetes phylum. Bacteroides faecis MAJ27T was used as an outgroup. Bootstrap percentages (based on 1,000 replications) higher than 90% are shown at branching points. Names of strains and accession numbers of 16S rRNA genes are as cited in GenBank. GenBank accession numbers for 16S rRNA gene sequences are shown in parentheses. The scale bar indicates the estimated number of substitutions per site. A superscript T indicates a type strain.
