arcanobacterium phocisimile sp. nov., isolated from harbour seals.	a polyphasic taxonomic study was performed on two previously unidentified arcanobacterium-like gram-positive strains isolated from harbour seals. comparative 16s rrna gene sequencing showed that both bacteria belonged to the genus arcanobacterium and were most closely related to arcanobacterium haemolyticum cip 103370(t) (98.4% 16s rrna gene sequence similarity), a. canis p6775(t) (97.4%), a. phocae dsm 10002(t) (97.4%), a. pluranimalium m430/94/2(t) (95.7%) and a. hippocoleae ccug 44697(t) (95. ...	2013	23041640
arcanobacterium pinnipediorum sp. nov., isolated from a harbour seal.	a polyphasic taxonomic study was performed on an unidentified arcanobacterium-like, gram-stain-positive bacterium, strain 2710t, isolated from a harbour seal. comparative 16s rrna gene sequence analysis showed that this bacterial strain belonged to the genus arcanobacterium and was related most closely to the type strains of arcanobacterium phocae (98.4 % similarity) and arcanobacterium phocisimile (97.5 %). 16s rrna gene sequence similarities to the type strains of other arcanobacterium species ...	2015	26373578
further studies on arcanobacterium phocisimile: a novel species of genus arcanobacterium.	arcanobacterium phocisimile, a newly described species with the type strain a. phocisimile 2698(t) isolated from a vaginal swab of a harbour seal and four additional a. phocisimile strains also isolated from four harbour seals could reliably be identified by phenotypic properties, by matrix assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (maldi-tof ms), and by sequencing the genomic targets 16s rdna and 16s-23s rdna intergenic spacer region and the genes rpob and gap. the a ...	2014	26464945
arcanobacterium wilhelmae sp. nov., isolated from the genital tract of a rhinoceros (rhinoceros unicornis).	abstracta polyphasic taxonomic study was performed on an unidentified arcanobacterium-like gram-stain-positive bacterium isolated from the genital tract of a rhinoceros. comparative 16s rrna gene sequencing showed that the bacterium belonged to the genus arcanobacterium and was most closely related to the type strains of arcanobacterium canis (98.8 %), arcanobacterium phocisimile (97.8 %), arcanobacterium phocae (97.7%), arcanobacterium haemolyticum (97.4 %), arcanobacterium hippocoleae (96.6 %) ...	2017	28073403
arcanobacterium phocae infection in mink (neovison vison), seals (phoca vitulina, halichoerus grypus) and otters (lutra lutra).	infectious skin disorders are not uncommon in mink. such disorders are important as they have a negative impact on animal health and welfare as well as on the quality and value of the fur. this study presents the isolation of arcanobacterium phocae from mink with severe skin lesions and other pathological conditions, and from wild seals and otters.	2017	29073927
