Five isolates recovered from the respiratory tract of cystic fibrosis patients were included in a polyphasic taxonomic study that employed 16S rDNA sequence analysis, cellular protein and fatty acid analysis and biochemical characterization. Four isolates were classified as a novel Ralstonia species, for which the name Ralstonia respiraculi sp. nov. is proposed; the other isolate was phylogenetically closely related to R. respiraculi, but is likely to represent another novel Ralstonia species. The type strain of R. respiraculi is AU3313T (=LMG 21510T=CCUG 46809T).
Published online ahead of print on 24 January 2003 as DOI 10.1099/ijs.0.02440-0.
The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession numbers for the 16S rRNA gene sequences of strains AU3313T, AU3801, AU0626, AU1618 and AU3369 are AF500583, AF500584, AF500585, AF500586 and AF500587, respectively.
Protein profiles of the R. respiraculi strains, strain AU3369 and reference strains of other Ralstonia species are available as supplementary material in IJSEM Online.
