Abstract
Nosocomiicoccus massiliensis strain NP2T sp. nov. is the type strain of a new species within the genus Nosocomiicoccus. This strain, whose genome is described here, was isolated from the fecal flora of an AIDS-infected patient living in Marseille, France. N. massiliensis is a Gram-positive aerobic coccus. Here we describe the features of this organism, together with the complete genome sequence and annotation. The 1,645,244 bp long genome (one chromosome but no plasmid) contains 1,738 protein-coding and 45 RNA genes, including 3 rRNA genes.

Nosocomiicoccus massiliensis strain NP2T (= CSUR P246 = DSM 26222) is the type strain of N. massiliensis sp. nov. This bacterium is a Grampositive, non-spore-forming, indole negative, aerobic and motile coccus that was isolated from the stool of an AIDS-infected patient living in Marseille (France) and is part of a “culturomics” study aiming at cultivating all species within human feces [1,2]
On the basis of phenotypic, phylogenetic and genomic analyses, we formally propose the creation of Nosocomiicoccus massiliensis sp. nov. that contains the strain NP2T
Summary
Strain NP2T (= CSUR P246 = DSM 26222), together with the description of the complete genomic sequence and its annotation. These characteristics support the circumscription of the species N. massiliensis. The genus Nosocomiicoccus Alves et al 2008 was created on the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence and phenotypic analyses within the family Staphylococcaceae [23]. To date, this genus is comprised of a single species, N. ampullae, which was isolated from the surface of saline bottles used for washing wounds in hospital wards [23]
