An unidentified strain of the viridans group of streptococci was isolated from a human blood sample. It was distinguished from all other recognized species of the Streptococcus sanguinis group by several biochemical characteristics. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons clustered this strain with Streptococcus ferus (mutans group) but phylogenetic analysis based on rpoB and sodA gene sequence comparisons included it in the S. sanguinis group. The isolate showed 95.4 and 95.2 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to S. ferus and S. sanguinis, respectively, confirming it as belonging to a novel taxon, for which the name Streptococcus massiliensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 4401825T (=CIP 108498T=CCUG 49690T).

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession numbers for the 16S rRNA, rpoB and sodA gene sequences of S. massiliensis strain 4401825T are respectively AY769997, AY769998 and AY769999; those for the rpoB sequences of S. ferus CIP103225T, S. gordonii CIP103221 and CIP105258T, S. australis CIP107167T, S. downei CIP103222T, S. sinensis CIP107480T and S. parasanguinis CIP104372T are respectively AY770000, AY770001, AY770002, DQ132983, DQ132984, DQ232458 and DQ132985; and those for the sodA sequences of S. ferus CIP 103225T, S. sinensis CIP 107480T and S. australis CIP107167T are respectively DQ132986, DQ232560 and DQ132987.
