Abstract:
Prevotella marseillensis strain Marseille-P8229T (= CSURP8229) is a new species isolated from a patient with recurrent Clostridium difficile infection. It is an anaerobic, non-motile, non-spore-forming Gram-negative coccobacillus isolated from the stool of patient with recurrent Clostridium difficile infection in Marseille. We present herein its phenotypic description together with MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry analysis and genome sequencing and comparison. The genome of P. marseillensis is 4.1607 Mbp long with 45.80 mol% of G+C content, and it contains 3078 protein-coding genes.
