These 11 strains were found to cluster according to 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity at a level of {\textgreater}or=99.5\%, and on the basis of their tDNA-PCR profile. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, this collection of strains was related most closely to Chryseobacterium hispanicum (97.2\%), but they differed from the type strain of this species by the following phenotypic characteristics: growth at 37 degrees C, negativity for xylose acidification, positivity for acetate assimilation-alkalinization on Simmons' agar base and absence of flexirubin pigments, and by their tDNA-PCR profile. Strain NF802T showed only 57.8\% DNA-DNA relatedness to the type strain of C. hispanicum. Fatty acid composition did not enable differentiation from C. hispanicum. The DNA G+C content of strain NF802T is 36.5 mol\%. The name Chryseobacterium hominis sp. nov. is proposed for this taxon, with type strain NF802T (=CCUG 52711T=CIP 109415T).}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/29633bfdbfa2360945fa5d0208a295bca/recymikrobio}, keywords = {United_States rRNA Phylogeny 16S Molecular_Sequence_Data Nucleic_Acid_Hybridization Chryseobacterium Transfer Centers_for_Disease_Control_and_Prevention_(U.S.) Polymerase_Chain_Reaction DNA Genes Sequence_Analysis Bacterial_Typing_Techniques Humans Ribosomal Phenotype Flavobacteriaceae_Infections IFZ RNA Bacterial} }
