Genome Sequence of Peptoniphilus rhinitidis 1-13 ^T , an Anaerobic Coccus Strain Isolated from Clinical Specimens

Abstract

A new Peptoniphilus species has been isolated from samples from a patient who was scheduled for endoscopic sinus surgery for chronic rhinosinusitis. The isolate, Peptoniphilus rhinitidis 1-13 T (KCTC 5985 T ), can use peptone as a sole carbon source and produce butyrate as a metabolic end product. This is the first report of the draft genome sequence of a novel species in the genus Peptoniphilus within the group of Gram-positive anaerobic cocci.

Unusual cause of acute sinusitis and orbital abscess in COVID-19 positive patient: Case report

“…Peptoniphilus indolicus, a type of bacteria normally found in the vagina and stomach [ 1 ], was found within our patient’s orbit. There are now more than 15 Peptoniphilusspecies within the genus, seven of which were discovered in 2012 [ [2] , [3] , [4] , [5] , [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] ]. At this juncture, no Peptoniphilus species have been reported in the orbit; Peptoniphilus species have most commonly been associated with diabetic skin and soft tissue infections, bone and joint infections, surgical site infections, and chorioamnionitis [ [10] , [11] , [12] , [13] , [14] ].…”

Bloodstream infections due to Peptoniphilus spp.: report of 15 cases

“…Recent implementation of non-biochemical methods including MALDI-TOF and 16S rDNA sequencing has allowed their accurate identification from a variety of clinical specimens. There are now more than 15 Peptoniphilus species within the genus, seven of which were discovered in 2012 [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Several new Peptoniphilus spp.…”

“…Peptoniphilus indolicus, a type of bacteria normally found in the vagina and stomach 1 , was found within our patient's orbit. There are now more than 15 Peptoniphilus species within the genus, seven of which were discovered in 2012 [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] . Still, up until now, none of the 15 species have been seen within the orbit.…”
