Acinetobacter defluvii sp. nov., recovered from hospital sewage.

A Gram-stain-negative, non-motile Acinetobacter strain, WCHA30T, was isolated from hospital sewage in West China Hospital of Sichuan University in Chengdu, south-western China. Strain WCHA30T was a non-spore-forming, catalase-positive, oxidase-negative, strictly aerobic coccobacillus. The DNA G+C content was 38 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA, rpoB and gyrB gene sequences revealed that the strain was distinct from any previously described species of the genus Acinetobacter. Strain WCHA30T could be distinguished from all known Acinetobacter species by its ability to assimilate β-alanine but not l-glutamate. Genotypic and phenotypic characteristics from this study indicate that strain WCHA30T should be considered to represent a novel species of the genus Acinetobacter, for which the name Acinetobacter defluvii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is WCHA30T (=CCTCC AB 2016203T=GDMCC 1.1101T=KCTC 52503T).
