Robinsoniella peoriensis is a Gram-positive, strictly anaerobic, spore-forming, rod-shaped organism. Here, we report the draft genome of R. peoriensis 6600698, initially classified as Clostridium difficile due to growth on selective agar, a fecal gdh PCR-positive result, and clinical symptoms. R. peoriensis is a potential confounder of C. difficile diagnosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
