A polyphasic taxonomic study was performed on isolates classified as Centers for Disease Control Group Eugonic Fermenter (EF)-4a and EF-4b. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis confirmed that group EF-4a and EF-4b belong to the genus Neisseria with Neisseria canis and Neisseria dentiae as the nearest phylogenetic neighbours. DNA–DNA hybridizations and biochemical analyses demonstrated that isolates of group EF-4a and EF-4b represent two novel species within this sublineage of the genus Neisseria. Based on the results of the present study, isolates of group EF-4a and EF-4b are classified as Neisseria animaloris sp. nov. (type strain LMG 23011T=NCTC 12228T) and Neisseria zoodegmatis sp. nov. (type strain LMG 23012T=NCTC 12230T), respectively.

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession numbers for the 16S rRNA gene sequences of strains LMG 23011T and LMG 23012T are DQ006842 and DQ006843, respectively.

The fatty acid contents of Neisseria animaloris sp. nov., Neisseria zoodegmatis sp. nov. and related taxa are presented in a supplementary table in IJSEM online.
