Note: According to the Judicial Opinion 15, the genus Enterobacter Hormaeche and Edwards 1960 (Approved Lists 1980) is an exception to Rules 15 and 21a because it is not the type genus of the family ¤ Enterobacteriaceae Rahn 1937 (Approved Lists 1980). The Judicial Opinion 15 states that the nomenclatural type of the family ¤ Enterobacteriaceae Rahn 1937 (Approved Lists 1980) is the the genus ¤ Escherichia Castellani and Chalmers 1919 (Approved Lists 1980).

Synonym: "Bacillus agglomerans" Beijerinck 1888.
Etymology: L. v. agglomerare, to wind on (as on a ball); L. part. adj. agglomerans, forming into a ball (referring to the occurrence of symplasmata bacteria in aggregates surrounded by a translucent sheath in anaerogenic strains).

Note: M.W. Beijerinck [1] published the name "Bacillus agglomerans" in 1888. W.H. Ewing and M.A. Fife [2] changed the name to Enterobacter agglomerans in 1972 as a new combination, acknowledging that Beijerinck had been the original author and making the new full name: Enterobacter agglomerans (Beijerinck 1888) Ewing and Fife 1972. However, the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names omitted Beijerinck from the name in 1980 and listed only Ewing and Fife as the authors [3]. In 2004, Edwards et al. [4] request that Beijerinck be acknowledged as the original author of this species by having his name reinstated in its full name Enterobacter agglomerans (Beijerinck 1888) Ewing and Fife 1972.

Note: According to Beji et al. 1988, Enterobacter agglomerans Ewing and Fife 1972 (Approved Lists 1980) emend. Beji et al. 1988, ¤ Erwinia herbicola (Löhnis 1911) Dye 1964 (Approved Lists 1980) and ¤ Erwinia milletiae (Kawakami and Yoshida 1920) Magrou 1937 (Approved Lists 1980) are heterotypic synonyms. In the original description of Enterobacter agglomerans by Ewing and Fife, the epithet agglomerans was ascribed to Beijerinck's publication in 1888. Thus, Beji et al. 1988 think that the epithet agglomerans has priority.
