Abstract

We report here the main characteristics of a new bacterium named 'Beduinella massiliensis' strain Marseille-P2846(T) (CSURP2846P) that was isolated from a faecal specimen of a 50-year-old Saudi Bedouin female and propose the creation of a new family 'Beduinellaceae'.

Keywords: Beduinella massiliensis; culturomics; genomics; taxono-genomics; taxonomy.
