| Abstract |
Strain Marseille-P2948T, a novel Gram-positive, catalase-positive bacterium was isolated from a vaginal sample of a patient with bacterial vaginosis. It was characterised using the taxonogenomic approach. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the 16S rRNA and the rpoB genes exhibit 98.7 and 93.4% similarity, respectively, with those of Corynebacterium ureicelerivorans strain IMMIB RIV-301T. Biochemical tests of strain Marseille-P2948T gave results that were similar to those of other validly named Corynebacterium species, whereas chemotaxonomic tests showed the presence of C16:0, C18:1n9, C18:0, and C18:2n6 in the fatty acid profile. The draft genome of strain Marseille-P2948T is 2,383,644 bp long in size with a G+C content of 65.03%. Of the 2210 predicted genes, 2147 are protein-coding genes and 63 are RNAs. Based on phenotypic, phylogenic and genomic results, it was concluded that the isolate represents a new species within the genus Corynebacterium. The name Corynebacterium fournierii sp. nov. is proposed and the type strain is Marseille-P2948T (= CSUR P2948 = DSM 103271). |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 01 February 2018.
All research outputs
#20,461,148
of 23,018,998 outputs
Outputs from Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
#1,750
of 2,036 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#377,816
of 440,328 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
#44
of 52 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,018,998 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,036 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.6. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 440,328 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 52 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
