Notes:
- ⏲ According to Devriese et al. (2000), this species is a later heterotypic synonym of Corynebacterium glucuronolyticum Funke et al. 1995. Publication: Devriese LA, Riegel P, Hommez J, Vaneechoutte M, de Baere T, Haesebrouck F. Identification of Corynebacterium glucuronolyticum strains from the urogenital tract of humans and pigs. J Clin Microbiol 2000; 38:4657-4659.
- ❗ Corynebacterium seminale is the correct name instead if this species is regarded as a separate species (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another species whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority) within a separate genus Corynebacterium.
