Abstract
Bartonella florenciae sp. nov. strain R4T is the type strain of B. florenciae sp. nov., a new species within the genus Bartonella. This strain, whose genome is described here, was isolated in France from the spleen of the shrew Crocidura russula. B. florenciae is an aerobic, rod-shaped, Gram-negative bacterium. Here we describe the features of this organism, together with the complete genome sequence and its annotation. The 2,010,844 bp-long genome contains 1,909 protein-coding and 46 RNA genes, including two rRNA operons.
Highlights
Bartonella is the monotypic genus of the family Bartonellaceae, classified among the αProteobacteria
Classification and features In February 2010, an adult Crocidura russula shrew was found dead without evident signs of trauma near the parking lot of the calanque d’EnVau close to Marseille, France
It was the eleventh genome of a Bartonella species and the first genome of Bartonella florenciae sp. nov
Summary
Bartonella is the monotypic genus of the family Bartonellaceae, classified among the αProteobacteria. 29 Bartonella species have been officially validated [1,2], and many isolates have yet to be described [3,4] Species of this genus share many general characteristics. In 2003, La Scola et al proposed a multilocus sequence analysis based on 4 genes and one intergenic spacer as a tool for the description of new Bartonella species [12] Two of these markers, i.e., gltA and rpoB, were discriminatory, with new Bartonella isolates considered as new species if they exhibit
