🧍 In 2001, Neimark et al. proposed the transfer of Haemobartonella muris to the genus Mycoplasma with the Candidatus status: "CandidatusMycoplasma haemomuris" Neimark et al. 2001. The Candidatus designation is for new, incompletely described taxa, in order to give them a provisional status; changing validly published names to Candidatus would lose their standing in nomenclature. So, Neimark et al. revise "CandidatusMycoplasma haemomuris" to Mycoplasma haemomuris nom. nov. — For the transfer of Haemobartonella muris (Mayer 1921) Tyzzer and Weinman 1939 (Approved Lists 1980) to the genus Mycoplasma Nowak 1929 (Approved Lists 1980) it is necessary to substitute a new specific epithet to produce Mycoplasma haemomuris because in the genus Mycoplasma the name Mycoplasma muris already existed [Rules 34a and 41a].Publication:

🧍 The proposal of Neimark et al. (IJSEM 51:896) to reclassify Haemobartonella muris as "CandidatusMycoplasma haemomuris" is not acceptable; H. muris (AL) would loose standing in nomenclature.Publication:
Neimark H, Johansson KE, Rikihisa Y, Tully JG. Proposal to transfer some members of the genera Haemobartonella and Eperythrozoon to the genus Mycoplasma with descriptions of 'CandidatusMycoplasma haemofelis', 'CandidatusMycoplasma haemomuris', 'CandidatusMycoplasma haemosuis' and 'CandidatusMycoplasma wenyonii'. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2001; 51:891-899.
🧍 Strains of Haemobartonella muris are cell-wall-less uncultivated parasitic bacteria that attach to the surface of host erythrocytes. 16S rRNA gene sequence has been determined for this species and phylogenetic analysis shows that this haemotrophic bacteria is closely related to species in the genus Mycoplasma Nowak 1929 (Approved Lists 1980). To reflect this phylogenetic affiliation, Neimark et al. 2001 propose that Haemobartonella muris be transferred to the genus Mycoplasma as "CandidatusMycoplasma haemomuris". The new name haemomuris has been created to avoid confusion with Mycoplasma muris McGarrity et al. 1983. — It is important to note that names included in the category Candidatus have no standing in bacterial nomenclature (see the file "List of Candidatus" or Candidatus in the file "Definitions and abbreviations"). So, according to the Associate Editor, the proposal of Neimark et al. to reclassify Haemobartonella muris as "Candidatus" is not acceptable; it would lose standing in nomenclature.Publication:
