Taxonomic studies were performed on some Gram-positive asporogeneous rod-shaped bacteria isolated from human skin. On the basis of biochemical and chemical characteristics the cutaneous strains differ from all taxa described to date. It is proposed that these organisms be classified in a new genus Dermabacter, as Dermabacter hominis gen.nov., sp.nov.
