Two novel bacterial isolates were cultured from faecal samples of patients attending the Breast Care clinic at the Norwich and Norfolk University Hospital. Strain LH1062^T was isolated from a 58-year-old female diagnosed with invasive adenocarcinoma with ductal carcinoma in situ. Strain LH1063^T was isolated from a healthy 51-year-old female. Isolate LH1062^T was predicted to be a potential novel genus most closely related to Coprobacillus, whilst LH1063^T was predicted to be a novel species belonging to Coprobacter. Both strains were characterized by polyphasic approaches including 16S rRNA gene analysis, core-genome analysis, average nucleotide identity (ANI) comparisons and phenotypic analysis. Initial screening of the 16S rRNA gene of LH1062^T returned a nucleotide identity of 93.4 % to Longibaculum muris. For LH1063^T, nucleotide identity was a 92.6 % to Coprobacter secundus. Further …
