A yellow-pigmented coryneform rod was isolated from the blood of a child with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, who was perfused with a central venous catheter. The culture bottles were positive twice, at a 2-month interval. The isolate was identified as a Microbacterium sp. and studied along with five other similar strains. Phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, and genetic characteristics indicated that they are closely related to Microbacterium oxydans but that they belong to a distinct species, for which the name Microbacterium paraoxydans sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of M. paraoxydans is CF36(Gamma) = DSM 15019(T). The G+C content of its DNA is 69.9 mol%.
