Two new bacterial strains, Marseille-P4126 (=CSURP4126) and Marseille-P4593 (=CSURP4593), were isolated from the vaginal sample of a French woman with vaginosis. These strains were identified and characterized using the taxonogenomics method. The findings from phylogenetic tree interpretation, phenotypic criteria and genomic analysis provided here distinctly display that Atopobium massiliense sp. nov. and Butyricimonas vaginalis sp. nov. are new members of the genus Atopobium and Butyricimonas, respectively.
