16S rRNA gene sequencing studies were performed an some Gram-positive
coryneform bacteria of unknown taxonomic position isolated from blood
and milk of healthy cows. Comparative sequence analysis demonstrated t
hat the milk isolates corresponded to Oerskovia xanthineolytica wherea
s those from blood consisted of two distinct, albeit highly related sp
ecies, within the family Cellulomonadaceae. Based on the phylogenetic
and phenotypic distinctiveness of the blood isolates, it is proposed t
hat they be classified in a new genus Sanguibacter.
