Abstract

ABSTRACT We report the isolation and characterization of a hitherto unknown gram-negative, rod-shaped Neisseria -like organism from an infected wound resulting from a bite from a kinkajou. Based on both phenotypic and phylogenetic evidence, it is proposed that the unknown organism be classified as a new species, Kingella potus sp. nov.
