RESUMO

Bacterial strains isolated from the genital tracts of humans (predominantly males), semen of boars, and uterine and vaginal secretions of sows were identified as Corynebacterium glucuronolyticum and were compared with the type strains of the recently proposed species Corynebacterium glucuronolyticum and Corynebacterium seminale. The two type strains as well as the clinical strains were shown by DNA-DNA hybridization and sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene to be related at the species level. All strains were classified as C. glucuronolyticum, because this name has nomenclatural priority over C. seminale.
