Biochemical and molecular genetic studies were performed on two novel Gram-positive catalase-negative coccus-shaped organisms isolated from liquid joint samples of two pigs. The microorganisms were not identified as a recognized species based on their cellular, morphological and biochemical tests. 16S rRNA gene sequence comparison studies allowed their identifications as members of the genus Jeotgalibaca, but the organisms were different to Jeotgalibaca dankookensis, the single species of the genus. The two microorganisms shared 96.3% and 96.9% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values with their nearest phylogenetic relative, J. dankookensis. The novel bacterial isolates were distinguished from J. dankookensis using biochemical tests. Based on both phenotypic and phylogenetic findings, it is proposed that the unknown bacteria be classified as two new species of the genus Jeotgalibaca, Jeotgalibaca porci and Jeotgalibaca arthritidis sp. nov. The type strain of Jeotgalibaca porci is 1804-02T (=CECT 9156T = CCUG 69148T) and that of Jeotgalibaca arthritidis is 1805-02T (=CECT 9157T = CCUG 69147T)
