Identification of a novel Brevibacterium species isolated from humans and description of Brevibacterium sanguinis sp. nov.
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.
