Abstract
- We have previously isolated a gram‐negative microaerophilic strain, PAGU2000T from a patient presenting with a fever in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan. The present study aimed to comprehensively analyze the taxonomy of the isolated strain using a polyphasic approach. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that the strain was a member of enterohepatic Helicobacter. The strain PAGU2000T shared a 97.5% 16S rRNA gene nucleotide identity with Helicobacter valdiviensis, and this taxonomic position was confirmed by phylogenetic analysis of the GyrA amino acid sequences. The proposed strain PAGU2000T has a 1.482 Mbp chromosome with a DNA G + C content of 31.3 mol% and encodes 1520 predicted coding sequences. The average nucleotide identity between the strain PAGU2000T and type strain of H. valdiviensis was 70.3%, which was lower than the recommended threshold of 95% for species delineation. The strain PAGU2000T was a motile, non‐spore‐forming, and spiral‐shaped bacterium, exhibiting catalase and oxidase activities but not urease and nitrate reduction. This study demonstrates that the isolate represents a novel species within enterohepatic Helicobacter, for which the name Helicobacter higonensis is proposed (type strain: PAGU2000T = GTC 16811T = LMG 33095T). In this study, we describe the phenotypic and morphological features of this strain and propose an emended description of some biochemical traits of H. valdiviensis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
