AbstractBackground: The genus Providencia includes species of ecological and clinical significance, with some acting as opportunistic pathogens in hospital-acquired infections such as urinary tract infection (UTI). However, overlapping phenotypic traits and genetic similarities pose challenges for accurate species characterization. This study exemplifies this challenge by identifying a novel Providencia isolate through genomic analysis.

AbstractMembers of Providencia, although typically opportunistic, can cause severe infections in immunocompromised hosts. Recent advances in genome sequencing provide an opportunity for more precise study of this genus. In this study, we first identified and characterized a novel species named Providencia zhijiangensis sp. nov.
