Notes:
1 According to Rules 27(3) and 30, this new species is not validly published, because the protologue of the effective publication makes reference to the deposit of the type strain in a single recognized culture collection. However, another recognized culture collection in a different country is cited in the abstract. According to the Judicial Opinion 81, Arcanobacterium pluranimalium Lawson et al. 2001 is to be considered to be validly published.
