A strain isolated from pleural fluid of a patient with suppurative pleuritis (strain GTC 3021T) was characterized in terms of its phenotypic and biochemical features, cellular fatty acid profile and phylogenetic position based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that the isolate was a member of the genus Prevotella. The isolate was related to Prevotella enoeca ATCC 51261T with about 92 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity. The strain was an obligately anaerobic, non-pigmenting, non-spore-forming, non-motile, Gram-negative rod. Although the phenotypic and biochemical characteristics of the strain were similar to those of P. enoeca JCM 12259T, the cellular fatty acid composition of the isolate was significantly different from that of P. enoeca JCM 12259T (C18 : 1{omega}9c and anteiso-C15 : 0 fatty acid content). Based on these data, we propose a novel Prevotella species, Prevotella pleuritidis sp. nov., with the type strain GTC 3021T (=JCM 14110T =CCUG 54350T). The G+C content of the type strain is 45.4 mol%.

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of P. pleuritidis GTC 3021T (=JCM 14110T) is AB278593.
