title: Taxonogenomics and description ofVaginella massiliensisgen. nov., sp. nov., strain Marseille P2517T, a new bacterial genus isolated from the human vagina.
abstract: An obligate aerobic, Gram-negative, nonmotile and nonsporulating rod designated Marseille P2517 was isolated from the vaginal flora. We describe its features, annotate the genome and compare it to the closest species. The 16S rRNA analysis shows 93.03% sequence similarity withWeeksella virosa,the phylogenetically closest species. Its genome is 2 434 475 bp long and presents 38.16% G+C. On the basis of these data, it can be considered as a new genus in theFlavobacteriaceaefamily, for which we proposed the nameVaginella massiliensisgen. nov., sp. nov. The type strain is Marseille P2517T.
