| escherichia marmotae sp. nov., isolated from faeces of marmota himalayana. | the taxonomic position of a group of seven closely related lactose-negative enterobacterial strains, which were isolated from fresh faecal samples of marmota himalayana collected from the qinghai-tibetan plateau, china, was determined by using a polyphasic approach. cells were gram-reaction-negative, non-sporulating, non-motile, short rods (0.5-1 × 1-2.5 μm). by 16s rrna gene sequences, the representative strain, ht073016(t), showed highest similarity values with escherichia fergusonii atcc 3546 ... | 2015 | 25851592 |
