Note: The inclusion of ¤ Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans (Klinger 1912) Topley and Wilson 1929 (Approved Lists 1980) in the genus Haemophilus Winslow et al. 1917 (Approved Lists 1980) as Haemophilus actinomycetemcomitans (Klinger 1912) Potts et al. 1985 is not favoured by the subcommittee on Pasteurellaceae [1]. However, the statement 'is not favoured', nomenclaturally, does not affect the formal validity of the proposed transfer, and Haemophilus actinomycetemcomitans and ¤ Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans are both legitimate names for the same species. In 2006, Nørskov-Lauritsen and Kilian [2] transfer this taxon to the genus ¤ Aggregatibacter as ¤ Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Klinger 1912) Nørskov-lauritsen and Kilian 2006, comb. nov. (see below).

Note 2:

According to Kilian 1976 [1] and Broom and Sneath 1981 [2], Haemophilus piscium does not belong to the genus Haemophilus Winslow et al. 1917 (Approved Lists 1980).

According to De Ley et al. 1990 [3] this taxon belongs in the ¤ Aeromonadaceae Colwell et al. 1986.

According to Paterson et al. 1980 [4], Austin et al. 1998 [5] and Thornton et al. 1999 [6], Haemophilus piscium is, in fact, atypical ¤ Aeromonas salmonicida (Lehmann and Neumann 1896) Griffin et al. 1953 (Approved Lists 1980).

In the ATCC database and CCUG database, the type strain ATCC 10801= CCUG 15943 is cited as a strain of ¤ Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. achromogenes (Smith 1963) Schubert 1967 (Approved Lists 1980).

The 16S rRNA gene sequence of the type strain shows an unexpected affiliation with the family ¤ Aeromonadaceae (99.8% similarity against ¤ Aeromonas bestiarum) [7].
