Proposed new bacterial taxa and proposed changes of bacterial names published during 1997 and considered to be of interest to medical or veterinary bacteriology
W. Frederiksen et al., Proposed new bacterial taxa and proposed changes of bacterial names published during 1997 and considered to be of interest to medical or veterinary bacteriology, J MED MICRO, 48(2), 1999, pp. 113-116
A list of names of bacteria published or validated in 1997 is presented. Co
mments are made of the tendency to base names of new taxa on a single bacte
rial strain and the consequences for reliable descriptions that this tenden
cy implies.
