🧍 Schleifer et al. 1991 (see Validation List No. 54) propose the revived name Streptococcus thermophilus (basonym: Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus); but Streptococcus thermophilus cannot be revived because it appeared in the Approved Lists.
Publication:
Anonymous. Validation list no. 54. Validation of publication of new names and new combinations previously effectively published outside the IJSB. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1995; 45:619-620.

🧍 The Validation List no. 54 [1] encompasses the following citation: "Name: Streptococcus thermophilus (basonym: Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus) - Proposed as: Revived name - Authors: Schleifer et al. 1991 [2] - Nomenclatural type: ATCC 19258(= NCDO 573)". However, Streptococcus thermophilus cannot be a revived name because it appeared in the Approved Lists (1980). Obviously, Streptococcus thermophilus nom. rev. (sic) is erroneously cited in the Validation List no. 54.
Publication:
Anonymous. Validation list no. 54. Validation of publication of new names and new combinations previously effectively published outside the IJSB. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1995; 45:619-620.
