Abstract

We report the primary characteristics of "Ezakiella massiliensis" strain Marseille P2951 (= DSM 103122 = CSUR P2951), a new member of the Ezakiella genus. Strain Marseille P2951 was isolated from a vaginal sample taken from an asymptomatic 20-year-old woman who had sex with another woman who had bacterial vaginosis.

Keywords: Bacterial vaginosis; Ezakiella massiliensis; culturomics; vaginal flora.
