Species

Oliverpabstia is a genus of Gram-positive, strictly anaerobic bacteria within the family Lachnospiraceae. The genus was established following the isolation and characterization of its type species, Oliverpabstia intestinalis , from the gastrointestinal tract of pigs in Germany. The genus name honors Prof. Oliver Pabst for his contributions to mucosal immunology.

Taxonomy

The genus Oliverpabstia was first described by Wylensek et al. in 2020, based on isolates obtained from the pig gastrointestinal tract. Phylogenetic analyses, including 16S rRNA gene sequencing and whole-genome comparisons, demonstrated that these isolates formed a distinct lineage within the Lachnospiraceae family, warranting the establishment of a new genus. [1] [2]

Species

Currently, the genus comprises a single validly published species:

Morphology and physiology

Members of the genus Oliverpabstia are characterized by the following features:

The type strain, BSM-380-WT-5A (= DSM 106162 = JCM 34394), was isolated from the feces of a 5-month-old pig in Germany. [3]
