Abstract excerpt
The hsp60 gene sequences were determined for 121 strains of Gram-negative anaerobic rods, including the genera Bacteroides, Barnesiella, Butyricimonas, Odoribacter, Parabacteroides, Paraprevotella, Porphyromonas, Prevotella and Tannerella. The mean pairwise hsp60 gene sequence similarity (73.8-97.1 %) between species in each genus, except for the genus Tannerella that comprises one species, was significantly less...
