Description of Providencia zhijiangensis sp. nov
Providencia zhijiangensis (zhi.jiang.en’sis. N.L. fem. adj. zhijiangensis, pertaining to Zhijiang, a subdistrict within the Xihu District of Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, China, where the type strain was first isolated).
Cells are Gram stain-negative, motile, facultatively anaerobic rods. Colonies appear circular, raised, yellow, and opaque, with a smooth texture after 24 hours of incubation at 37°C on nutrient agar. Growth occurs between 15°C and 42°C, with optimal growth at 35°C and 37°C. Oxidase activity is absent. Produces acid from D-glucose, sucrose, and glycerol but not from D-mannitol, inositol, D-sorbitol, L-rhamnose, melibiose, amygdalin, D-arabinose, aesculin, arbutin, cellobiose, 2-ketogluconate, D-lyxose, salicin, or D-xylose. Positive for deaminase and negative for β-galactosidase, arginine dihydrolase, ornithine decarboxylase, lysine decarboxylase, and gelatinase. The Voges-Proskauer reaction and phenylalanine deaminase test are positive, while urease activity and indole production are negative. Citrate is utilized, but H_2_S is not produced. Providencia zhijiangensis can be distinguished from other Providencia species by its positive response to acetoin production tests and its lack of indole production. Notably, P. zhijiangensis does not utilize inositol and indole, which differentiates it from the clinically prevalent species P. stuartii, P. rettgeri, and P. hangzhouensis. The predominant fatty acids (>10%) are C16:0 and C14:0.
The type strain is D4759^T^ (= CCTCC AB 2023263^T^ = NBRC 116614^T^), isolated from a bile sample collected from a patient in the Zhijiang subdistrict of Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, China. The DNA G+C content is 42.91%.
