These isolates had near full-length (1397\u2005bp) 16S rRNA gene sequences that clustered into three groups with 99.9\u200a% sequence similarity. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence, the isolates were most closely associated with <jats:italic>Moraxella bovis<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Moraxella ovis<\/jats:italic> in clade I of the classical moraxellae. Biochemically, the novel isolates could be distinguished from the other members of the genus <jats:italic>Moraxella<\/jats:italic> isolated from animals on the basis of phenylalanine deaminase activity. The results of partial sequence analysis of six housekeeping genes, the 16S\u201323S rRNA gene interspacer region and partial 23S rRNA gene provide strong support for the inclusion of these isolates in a novel taxon, for which the name <jats:italic>Moraxella bovoculi<\/jats:italic> sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is strain 237<jats:sup>T<\/jats:sup> (=ATCC BAA-1259<jats:sup>T<\/jats:sup>=CCUG 52049<jats:sup>T<\/jats:sup>).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1099\/ijs.0.64333-0","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,3,27]],"date-time":"2007-03-27T19:18:42Z","timestamp":1175023122000},"page":"789-795","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":101,"title":["Moraxella bovoculi sp. nov., isolated from calves with infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis"],"prefix":"10.1099","volume":"57","author":[{"given":"John A.","family":"Angelos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine and Epidemiology, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of California, Davis, CA 95616, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Phillip Q.","family":"Spinks","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Section of Evolution and Ecology, University of California, Davis, CA 95616, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Louise M.","family":"Ball","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine and Epidemiology, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of California, Davis, CA 95616, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lisle W.","family":"George","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine and Epidemiology, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of California, Davis, CA 95616, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"345","reference":[{"key":"R1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3389","DOI":"10.1093\/nar\/25.17.3389","article-title":"Gapped BLAST and PSI-BLAST: a new generation of protein database search programs","volume":"25","author":"Altschul","year":"1997","journal-title":"Nucleic Acids Res"},{"key":"R2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"169","DOI":"10.1136\/vr.115.8.169","article-title":"Bacterial population of the eyes of slaughter cattle","volume":"115","author":"Barber","year":"1984","journal-title":"Vet Rec"},{"key":"R3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"204","DOI":"10.1136\/vr.118.8.204","article-title":"Microbial flora of the eyes of cattle","volume":"118","author":"Barber","year":"1986","journal-title":"Vet Rec"},{"key":"R4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"772","DOI":"10.1128\/JCM.44.3.772-776.2006","article-title":"Effects of Moraxella (Branhamella) ovis culture filtrates on bovine erythrocytes, peripheral mononuclear cells, and corneal epithelial cells","volume":"44","author":"Cerny","year":"2006","journal-title":"J Clin Microbiol"},{"key":"R5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1601","DOI":"10.1099\/ijs.0.03018-0","article-title":"Comparative phylogenies of the housekeeping genes atpD , infB and rpoB and the 16S rRNA gene within the Pasteurellaceae","volume":"54","author":"Christensen","year":"2004","journal-title":"Int J Syst Evol Microbiol"},{"key":"R6","first-page":"431","article-title":"Moraxella ovis in cases of infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis (IBK) in Israel","volume":"[B] 35","author":"Elad","year":"1988","journal-title":"Zentralbl Veterinarmed"},{"key":"R7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"649","DOI":"10.1136\/vr.78.19.649","article-title":"The isolation of a haemolytic Neisseria from cattle and sheep in the North of Scotland","volume":"78","author":"Fairlie","year":"1966","journal-title":"Vet Rec"},{"key":"R8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"783","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1558-5646.1985.tb00420.x","article-title":"Confidence limits on phylogenies: an approach using the bootstrap","volume":"39","author":"Felsenstein","year":"1985","journal-title":"Evolution"},{"key":"R9","first-page":"761","article-title":"Infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis","volume":"21","author":"Henson","year":"1960","journal-title":"I.
