| Abstract: | Twenty-two strains of the Center for Disease Control’s IIk-2 group of nonfermentative Gram-negative, weakly pigmented (yellow) bacteria were examined in respect to phenotypic features, DNA base composition, and both intra-and extra-group DNA-DNA hybridizations. Eighteen of the 22 strains appeared to be members of one taxon. This taxon is phenotypically not similar to two genera,Acinetobacter andMoraxella, which have similar base compositions. It does, however, have phenotypic features and base composition compatible with those of the genusFlavobacterium. |
