    Aeromonas culicicola Pidiyar et al. 2002	heterotypic synonym, validly published

• Notes:
  • According to Huys et al. (2005), this species is an earlier heterotypic synonym of Aeromonas culicicola Pidiyar et al. 2002. Publication: Huys G, Cnockaert M, Swings J. Aeromonas culicicola Pidiyar et al. 2002 is a later subjective synonym of Aeromonas veronii Hickman-Brenner et al. 1987. Syst Appl Microbiol 2005; 28:604-609.
  • This species encompasses two biovars (or biogroups), Sobria and Veronii. The proposal of the name Sobria is deprecated by the subcommittee on the taxonomy of Vibrionaceae, as this is the most common group in clinical material, yet it is indistinguishable phenotypically from the species Aeromonas sobria Popoff and Véron 1981. However, as a biovar designation, the name Sobria is not covered by the Bacteriological Code. Nevertheless, it is felt that the subcommittee should make a recommendation on this problem.

  • The full TRBA 466 classification is: risk group = 2, note = "ht".
