title: Identification of a novel Brevibacterium species isolated from humans and description of Brevibacterium sanguinis sp. nov.
abstract: Six coryneforms isolated from blood and dialysate fluid were phenotypically similar to Brevibacterium casei, but 16S rRNA gene sequencing and DNA-DNA hybridization indicate that they belong to a new species for which the name Brevibacterium sanguinis is proposed.
