Abstract: 
The taxonomic status of all Pseudocitrobacter species was re-evaluated by comparative genomics based on whole genome sequencing. As a result, it is obvious that Pseudocitrobacter anthropi is a later heterotypic synonym of Pseudocitrobacter faecalis. In addition, genome-based analysis of strain CP020170097(T), isolated from a patient in northern Denmark was allocated to the genus Pseudocitrobacter. This strain showed significant genotypic and phenotypic differences from P faecalis and it is proposed that this strain represents a novel species of the genus, for which the name Pseudocitrobacter vendiensis sp. nov. is proposed with the type strain CP02017009(T) (=CCUG 73096(T)=LMG 31042(T)).
