Keywords: | Staphylococcus taiwanensis; bacteraemia; coagulase-negative staphylococci; methicillin resistance; novel species | Issue Date: | Feb-2022 | Journal Volume: | 72 | Journal Issue: | 2 | Source: | International journal of systematic and evolutionary microbiology | Abstract: | A novel coagulase-negative Staphylococcus strain (NTUH-S172T) was isolated from human blood culture in Taiwan with preliminary identification of Staphylococcus saprophyticus. 16S rRNA gene analysis and multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) showed that NTUH-S172T was most closely related to Staphylococcus haemolyticus. The average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values with the whole genome sequence were <95 % and<70 % when compared to the related species. Strain NTUH-S172T could be distinguished from S. haemolyticus by urease production and from Staphylococcus borealis by nitrate reduction. In addition, the matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) spectrum of NTHU-S172T was significantly different from that of S. haemolyticus, which could be used in clinical identification. In conclusion, it is proposed that this isolate represents a novel species, named Staphylococcus taiwanensis sp. nov., with type strain NTUH-S172T (=BCRC 81315T=JCM 34726T). |
