Abstract |
The introduction of phylogenetic classification of bacteria based on 16S rRNA sequence analysis has contributed to the improvement of taxonomy for anaerobes. It has lead to increased reclassification of species and registration of new genus and/or species. Update of taxonomic information has been limited in clinical laboratories, because of limited abilities in identification techniques. A recent breakthrough, MALDI-TOF MS, presents a lot of updated species names.
A brief overview of some new species is provided in this paper. |
