Enterococcus dispar sp. nov. a new Enterococcus species from human sources

The partial 16S rRNA sequences of two unknown human enterococcal isolates were determined by reverse transcription in an attempt to clarify their taxonomic position. The sequence data indicate that they belong to a hitherto unknown species of Enterococcus, for which the name Enterococcus dispar sp....

Description
Summary:The partial 16S rRNA sequences of two unknown human enterococcal isolates were determined by reverse transcription in an attempt to clarify their taxonomic position. The sequence data indicate that they belong to a hitherto unknown species of Enterococcus, for which the name Enterococcus dispar sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NCIMB 13000.
