Abstract

In this study, the phylogenetic position of Gordonibacter faecihominis and Gordonibacter urolithinfaciens was investigated using phenotypic and molecular (rep-PCR, ARDRA, 16S rRNA gene sequencing and whole-genome sequencing) methods. Our results show that Gordonibacter faecihominis cannot be distinguished from Gordonibacter urolithinfaciens on the basis of the results of this polyphasic approach. Therefore, it is proposed that the two species Gordonibacter faecihominis and Gordonibacter urolithinfaciens belong to the same species.
