Etymology: N.L. n. xylosum (from Gr. n. xulon, wood), xylose, wood sugar; N.L. v. oxido (from Gr. adj. oxus, sour, acid), to oxidize; N.L. part. adj. xylosoxidans, oxidizing xylose.

Note: The spelling is xylosoxidans in the nomenclatural name Achromobacter xylosoxidans (ex Yabuuchi and Ohyama 1971) Yabuuchi and Yano 1981. However, the spelling is xylosoxydans in the nomenclatural name Alcaligenes denitrificans subsp. xylosoxydans (Yabuuchi and Yano 1981) Kersters and De Ley 1984. In Latin, "y" is a letter borrowed from the Greek in order to represent the Greek upsilon (υ). The root of the word is the Greek adjective οςυζ (Latin transliteration oxys) and the spelling xylosoxydans seems better than xylosoxidans.

Note: The results of phylogenetic analyses of 16S rRNA nucleotide sequences and a difference of more 10% in GC contents of DNA demonstrate that ¤ Achromobacter xylosoxidans (ex Yabuuchi and Ohyama 1971) Yabuuchi and Yano 1981, the type species of the genus Achromobacter, and ¤ Alcaligenes faecalis Castellani and Chalmers 1919 (Approved Lists 1980), the type species of the genus ¤ Alcaligenes, belong to the 2 distinct genera Achromobacter Yabuuchi and Yano 1981 emend. Yabuuchi et al. 1998 and Alcaligenes Castellani and Chalmers 1919 (Approved Lists 1980), respectively.
The species Achromobacter xylosoxidans (ex Yabuuchi and Ohyama 1971) Yabuuchi and Yano 1981 encompasses two subspecies (see: below).

Notes:
1 According to Rule 40d (formerly Rule 46), the valid publication of Achromobacter xylosoxidans subsp. denitrificans (Rüger and Tan 1983) Yabuuchi et al. 1998 automatically creates another subspecies, Achromobacter xylosoxidans subsp. xylosoxidans (ex Yabuuchi and Ohyama 1971) Yabuuchi and Yano 1981.
