Leminorella Hickman-Brenner et al. 1985, gen. nov.
Type species: ¤ Leminorella grimontii Hickman-Brenner et al. 1985.
Etymology: N.L. fem. dim. n. Leminorella, named to honor Leon Le Minor, a French microbiologist, for his many contributions to enteric bacteriology including the nomenclature, classification, and serotyping of Salmonella; lysogeny; metabolic plasmids; and new and rapid biochemical tests. The name also honors Simone Le Minor, who also made many contributions to enteric bacteriology as head of the National Salmonella Centre of France and for her research on Serratia serotyping.
