A previously undescribed Actinomyces-like bacterium was isolated from a lesion in the jaw of a cow. Based on its cellular morphology and the results of biochemical testing, the organism was tentatively identified as a member of the genus Actinomyces. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequencing studies showed that the bacterium represents a hitherto unknown species within the genus Actinomyces, and is related to a group of species that includes Actinomyces turicensis and its close relatives. It is proposed that the unknown organism be classified as Actinomyces vaccimaxillae sp. nov. (the type strain is CCUG 46091T=CIP 107423T).

The GenBank accession number for the 16S rRNA sequence of CCUG 46091T is AJ427451.

A dendrogram based on protein profiles is available as supplementary data in IJSEM Online (http://ijs.sgmjournals.org).
