We describe here the main features of 'Peptoniphilus urinimassiliensis' strain Marseille-P3195T (= CSUR P3195) that was isolated from the urine sample of a 37-year-old man who had just received a kidney transplant for genetic focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.

Unopposed angiotensin (Ang) II-mediated cellular effects may lead to progressive glomerulosclerosis. While Ang-II can be locally generated in the kidneys, we previously showed that glomerular podocytes primarily convert Ang-I, the precursor of Ang-II, to Ang-(1-7) and Ang-(2-10), peptides that have been independently implicated in biological actions opposing those of Ang-II. Therefore, we hypot...
