Isolation of . from the Blood of a Patient with Interstitial Lung Disease

The genus Laceyella within the family Bacillaceae was proposed by Yoon et al. (1) in 2005 and was placed in the family Thermoactinomycetaceae by Matsuo et al. (2) in 2006. Members of the genus Laceyella were initially considered to belong in the genus Thermoactinomyces (also known as actinomycetes). When Yoon and colleagues (1) first proposed the genus Laceyella, only two species were known: Laceyella sacchari and Laceyella putidus, which were previously named Thermoactinomyces sacchari (Thermoactinomyces thalpophilus) and Thermoactinomyces putidus, respectively (1,3).
