    Abstract: A Gram-positive coccus isolated from a Giant Panda was identified 
  by 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene sequencing analysis. Phylogenetic analysis 
  showed that the organism was a member of the family Rothia. The <I>16S rRNA</I> 
  gene sequence of the organism showed 100% similarity with <I>R. nasimurium</I> 
  strain CCUG 35957. Animal experiments were conducted to study the pathogenicity 
  of <I>R. nasimurium</I> SCGP. This is the first reported isolation of <I>R. 
  nasimurium</I> from the upper respiratory tracta of Giant Panda.
