Abstract

We relate the main characteristics of "Vaginella massiliensis" strain Marseille P2517 (= DSM 102346 = CSUR P2517), a new member of the Flavobacteriaceae family. The strain Marseille P2517 was cultivated from a vaginal swab from a healthy 22-year-old woman.

Keywords: Culturomics; Flavobacteriaceae; human microbiota; vaginal flora; “Vaginella massiliensis”.
