Isolates were genotypically and phenotypically distinct from previously described species within the genus <jats:italic>Rodentibacter<\/jats:italic> (family <jats:italic>Pasteurellaceae<\/jats:italic>). The five strains were the most genetically similar to <jats:italic>Rodentibacter haemolyticus<\/jats:italic> 1625-19<jats:sup>T<\/jats:sup>, exhibiting a 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 96.5%, an average nucleotide identity value of 90.8% and a digital DNA\u2013DNA hybridization value of 42.7%. Phenotypic characteristics further distinguish the isolated strains from other <jats:italic>Rodentibacter<\/jats:italic> species. Although they share <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>-haemolysis capacity with <jats:italic>R. haemolyticus<\/jats:italic>, the novel strains are differentiated by their positive reactions for <jats:italic>\u03b1<\/jats:italic>-glucosidase, <jats:sc>l<\/jats:sc>-arabinose and trehalose, as well as negative reactions for <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>-glucuronidase, mannose, inositol and glycerol. Genotypic and phenotypic differences between the novel strains and closely related known strains suggested that we have identified a new <jats:italic>Rodentibacter<\/jats:italic> species. We propose the name <jats:italic>Rodentibacter abscessus<\/jats:italic> sp. nov. The type strain is THUN1654<jats:sup>T<\/jats:sup> with a G+C\u2009DNA content of 40.6\u2009mol%, and it is deposited in the DSMZ Germany (DSM 118002<jats:sup>T<\/jats:sup>), KCTC Korea (KCTC 8595<jats:sup>T<\/jats:sup>) and JCM Japan (JCM 37054<jats:sup>T<\/jats:sup>).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1099\/ijsem.0.006766","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,24]],"date-time":"2025-04-24T15:15:36Z","timestamp":1745507736000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Rodentibacter abscessus sp. nov. isolated from pet hamster subcutaneous abscess"],"prefix":"10.1099","volume":"75","author":[{"given":"Tsuyoshi","family":"Nakahara","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Laboratory, Miroku Medical Laboratory Inc., Saku, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2065-6720","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Akihiro","family":"Nakamura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Laboratory Science, Faculty of Health Care, Tenri University, Tenri, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kiyoko","family":"Tamai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Laboratory, Miroku Medical Laboratory Inc., Saku, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Masaru","family":"Komatsu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Laboratory Science, Faculty of Health Care, Tenri University, Tenri, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kiyofumi","family":"Ohkusu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology, Tokyo Medical University, Tokyo, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"345","reference":[{"key":"R1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1099\/ijsem.0.001866"},{"key":"R2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1099\/ijsem.0.006279"},{"key":"R3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.vetmic.2018.03.011"},{"key":"R4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1099\/ijsem.0.004947"},{"key":"R5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/nar\/17.19.7843"},{"key":"R6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/jb.173.2.697-703.1991"},{"key":"R7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1348-0421.2006.tb03865.x"},{"key":"R8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/molbev\/msab120"},{"key":"R9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/nar\/25.17.3389"},{"key":"R10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/nar\/25.17.3389"}],"container-title":["International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.microbiologyresearch.org\/content\/journal\/ijsem\/10.1099\/ijsem.0.006766?crawler=true&mimetype=application\/pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,24]],"date-time":"2025-04-24T15:15:36Z","timestamp":1745507736000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.microbiologyresearch.org\/content\/journal\/ijsem\/10.1099\/ijsem.0.006766"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,24]]},"references-count":10,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,24]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1099\/ijsem.0.006766","relation":{},"ISSN":["1466-5026","1466-5034"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1466-5026","type":"print"},{"value":"1466-5034","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,24]]}}}
