Otariodibacter is a genus of bacteria from the class of Pasteurellaceae with one known species (Otariodibacter oris).[2][3][4][1] Otariodibacter oris has been isolated from an oral swab from a Californian sea lion from the Copenhagen Zoo in Denmark in 2007.[5][1]

Etymology

The binomial name Otariodibacter oris is derived from:

  • Otario-, referring to the marine mammal family Otariidae (eared seals such as sea lions),
  • -di-, meaning “from” or “of”,
  • -bacter, from Greek *baktērion*, meaning “small rod”.

The species epithet oris is derived from Latin *os, oris*, meaning "mouth", referring to the site of isolation.

Thus, the full name means "rod-shaped bacterium from the mouth of an otariid (sea lion)."

Characteristics

Otariodibacter oris exhibits the following traits:

It is positive for both catalase and oxidase activity. The bacterium grows on blood agar under aerobic and microaerophilic conditions.

Habitat

Otariodibacter oris was isolated from an oral swab of a captive Californian sea lion (Zalophus californianus). It is presumed to be a commensal species within the oral microbiome of marine mammals.

Type strain

The type strain of Otariodibacter oris is:
