Description of Bartonella mastomydis sp. nov. strain 008
Bartonella mastomydis (mas.to′my.dis, N.L. gen. n., from mastomydis, ‘of Mastomys,’ isolated from Mastomys erythroleucus) is a nonmotile Gram-negative rod. Growth is only obtained at 37°C. Colonies are opaque, grey and 0.5 to 1 mm in diameter on blood-enriched Columbia agar. Cells are rod shaped without flagella or pili. Length and width are 1369.8 ± 423.8 nm and 530.9 ± 105.8 nm respectively. The type strain 008 is sensitive to rifampicin, amoxicillin, amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, oxacillin, nitrofurantoin, doxycycline, linezolid, tobramycin, gentamycin, imipenem, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, fosfomycin and ciprofloxacin and resistant to metronidazole and colistin. The G + C content of the genome is 38.44%. The 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequence and whole-genome shotgun sequence of strain 008 are deposited in GenBank under accession numbers KY555064 and GCA_900185775 respectively. The type strain 008 (CSUR B643, DSM28002) was isolated from the rodent Mastomys erythroleucus trapped in the region of Sine-Saloum, Senegal.
