Three new saccharolytic Bacteroides species that have DNAs with guanine-plus-cytosine contents of 40 to 46 mol%, produce major amounts of succinate, and were isolated principally from human feces are described: Bacteroides caccae, with ATCC 43185 as the type strain; B. merdae, with ATCC 43184 as the type strain; and B. stercoris, with ATCC 43183 as the type strain. These groups previously have been referred to as the “3452A,” “T4-1,” and “subsp. a” groups, respectively.
