Corynebacterium fournierii sp.  nov.,  isolated from the female genital tract of a patient with bacterial vaginosis. 
Strain Marseille-P2948T, a novel Gram-positive, catalase-positive bacterium was isolated from a vaginal sample of a patient with bacterial vaginosis.  It was characterised using the taxonogenomic approach.  Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the 16S rRNA and the rpoB genes exhibit 98.7 and 93.4% similarity, respectively, with those of Corynebacterium ureicelerivorans strain IMMIB RIV-301T. Biochemical tests of strain Marseille-P2948T gave results that were similar to those of other validly named Corynebacterium species, whereas chemotaxonomic tests showed the presence of C16:0, C18:1n9, C18:0, and C18:2n6 in the fatty acid profile.  The draft genome of strain Marseille-P2948T is 2,383,644 bp long in size with a G+C content of 65.03%.  Of the 2210 predicted genes, 2147 are protein-coding genes and 63 are RNAs.  Based on phenotypic, phylogenic and genomic results, it was concluded that the isolate represents a new species within the genus Corynebacterium.  The name Corynebacterium fournierii sp.  nov.  is proposed and the type strain is Marseille-P2948T (= CSUR P2948 = DSM 103271).
