The Eggerthellaceae are a family of Gram-positive, rod- or coccus-shaped Actinomycetota.[1][3] It is the sole family within the order Eggerthellales.[3]
The name Eggerthellaceae is derived from the Latin term Eggerthella, referring to the type genus of the family and the suffix "-ceae," an ending used to denote a family. Together, Eggerthellaceae refers to a family whose nomenclatural type is the genus Eggerthella.[4]
Biochemical characteristics and molecular signatures
[edit]Members of this family are mostly anaerobic, non-motile (with the exception of some Gordonibacter and Senegalimassilia species that exhibit motility), asaccharolytic and do not form spores.[4] Eggerthellaceae species are commonly isolated from human and animal faeces and other human sources such as the colon, vagina, oral cavity and blood.[4] Some species have also been isolated from human samples of periodontal or endodontic infections, Crohn's disease and severe blood bacteremia.[4] The G C content for Eggerthellaceae species is between 43.4 and 66.3 mol%.[4]
Analysis of genome sequences identified 13 conserved signature indels (CSIs) in diverse proteins that are exclusively present in different Eggerthellaceae species. The proteins containing these CSIs are: contaexcinuclease ABC subunit UvrC, DNA polymerase III subunit alpha, ribonuclease III, tRNA (N6-isopentenyl adenosine(37)-C2)-methylthiotransferase (MiaB), peptide chain release factor 2, 16S rRNA (cytosine(1402)-N(4))-methyltransferase, elongation factor Tu, UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 1-carboxyvinyltransferase DNA polymerase III subunit epsilon, UDP-glucose 4-epimerase and DNA-directed RNA polymerase subunit alpha.[1][4] The identified CSIs provide reliable and important means to distinguish members of Eggerthellaceae from all other Coriobacteriia as well as other bacteria.
Phylogeny
[edit]The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN).[3]
