Gram-positive, spore-forming rods were isolated from blood cultures of three different patients. Based on phylogenetic analyses, these strains were placed within the Paenibacillus cluster and specific phenotypic characteristics for each strain were described. Levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between existing Paenibacillus species and the three novel strains 2301065^T, 2301032^T and 2301083^T were 87·6–94·4, 88·5–95·4 and 87·5–96·0 %, respectively, and anteiso-branched C_{15 : 0} was the major fatty acid. On the basis of phenotypic data and phylogenetic inference, it is proposed that these strains should be designated Paenibacillus massiliensis sp. nov., Paenibacillus sanguinis sp. nov. and Paenibacillus timonensis sp. nov. The type strains are respectively strain 2301065^T (=CIP 107939^T=CCUG 48215^T), strain 2301083^T (=CIP 107938^T=CCUG 48214^T) and strain 2301032^T (=CIP 108005^T=CCUG 48216^T).

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession numbers for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of P. massiliensis strain 2301065^T, P. sanguinis strain 2301083^T and P. timonensis strain 2301032^T are respectively AY323608, AY323609 and AY323610 (clone 1), AY323611 (clone 2) and AY323612 (clone 3).
