Gram-negative anaerobic rods were isolated from blood culture of a healthy baby born at term. Based on phylogenetic analysis and specific phenotypic characteristics, this strain was included within the Bacteroides cluster. The novel bile-resistant anaerobic species was designated Bacteroides massiliensis and it has 92·8 % 16S rRNA similarity to Bacteroides vulgatus and a DNA G+C content of 49 mol%. The major cellular fatty acid is anteiso-branched C_{15 : 0}. The type strain of B. massiliensis sp. nov. is B84634^T (=CIP 107942^T=CCUG 48901^T).

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of Bacteroides massiliensis B84634^T is AY126616.

A table of antimicrobial susceptibility data is available as supplementary material in IJSEM Online.
