Correct name: Clostridium sardiniense corrig. Prévot 1938 (Approved Lists 1980)

Synonyms:

Name	Kind
Clostridium sardiniense corrig. Prévot 1938 (Approved Lists 1980)	corrected spelling of name, validly published under the ICNP
Clostridium absonum Nakamura et al. 1973 (Approved Lists 1980)	heterotypic synonym, validly published under the ICNP

Notes:
- ⏰ According to Wang et al. (2005), this species is an earlier heterotypic synonym of Clostridium absonum Nakamura et al. 1973 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Wang X, Maegawa T, Karasawa T, Ozaki E, Nakamura S. Clostridium sardiniense Prevot 1938 and Clostridium absonum Nakamura et al. 1973 are heterotypic synonyms: evidence from phylogenetic analyses of phospholipase C and 16S rRNA sequences, and DNA relatedness. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2005; 55:1193-1197. 🇯🇵
- 😷 The taxon name shown here has no assigned risk group, but is the original uncorrected spelling of Clostridium sardiniense corrig. Prévot 1938 (Approved Lists 1980), which has a risk group (Germany) above 1. These are therefore two spellings of the same name that should be treated identically for practical purposes.
- 🎓 Name mentioned 0 times in PubMed until 2026-06-11.
- 🙅 This name is on the List of Recommended Names for bacteria of medical importance (LoRN) as a synonym of the name to be applied to this species. The name is on LoRN because of the recorded risk group of the species itself.
