An 89-year male with pyrexia and suspected bacteremia was admitted to hospital, where a Gram-negative rod was identified from blood culture. The organism was difficult to identify phenotypically and the resulting sequencing of a 559 bp section of the 16S rRNA gene did not have a high homology score (>97.0%) with any deposited GenBank accession numbers and hence was not able to be assigned to a species within any genus. Given that the isolate was a member of the alpha subclass of the Proteobacteria but did not fall into any of the known genera with more than 93.7% homology (Brucella, Rhizobium, Ochrobactrum, Agrobacterium), we believe this isolate to represent a novel alpha-proteobacterium, which was the cause of bacteraemia in this patient.
