The results indicated that these isolates represent a novel species in the genus <jats:italic>Enterococcus<\/jats:italic>. The isolates showed classical phenotypic reactions for the genus <jats:italic>Enterococcus<\/jats:italic> with the exception of not possessing the Lancefield group D antigen. Isolates 334, LMG 12317<jats:sup>T<\/jats:sup> and LMG 13617 showed the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (98\u00b73\u201399\u00b70\u200a%) to the <jats:italic>Enterococcus pallens<\/jats:italic> type strain. In the distance matrix tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, the three isolates were located in the <jats:italic>Enterococcus avium<\/jats:italic> group with <jats:italic>E. pallens<\/jats:italic> as their closest phylogenetic neighbour. Numerical analyses of whole-cell protein patterns and <jats:italic>Hin<\/jats:italic>dIII\/<jats:italic>Eco<\/jats:italic>RI ribotypes placed all seven isolates together in a single cluster separated from the <jats:italic>E. avium<\/jats:italic> group reference strains. The DNA\u2013DNA hybridization level between strains 334 and LMG 12317<jats:sup>T<\/jats:sup> was 93\u00b75\u200a%, confirming that they represent the same species. Low hybridization levels (12\u201330\u200a%) were, by contrast, obtained with the <jats:italic>E. pallens<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Enterococcus raffinosus<\/jats:italic> type strains. The name <jats:italic>Enterococcus hermanniensis<\/jats:italic> sp. nov. is proposed, with strain LMG 12317<jats:sup>T<\/jats:sup> (=CCUG 48100<jats:sup>T<\/jats:sup>) as the type strain.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1099\/ijs.0.63112-0","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,9,23]],"date-time":"2004-09-23T18:43:11Z","timestamp":1095964991000},"page":"1823-1827","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":50,"title":["Enterococcus
